Victor Oladipo is hopeful to return to the Indiana Pacers' lineup by late January or early February, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Oladipo hasn't played since Jan. 23, when he suffered a ruptured right quad tendon.
It was expected Oladipo would return at some point before this season's All-Star break. He figures to provide an instant boost to a Pacers squad that currently sits fifth in the East.
The 6-foot-4 guard had a career season in 2017-18, averaging 23.1 points and a league-leading 2.4 steals per game.
