Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo will undergo season-ending surgery on his right quadriceps tendon, the Heat announced Wednesday.

Oladipo has been out since April 8, and there's no timetable for his return at this time.

The Heat acquired the two-time All-Star in a trade with the Houston Rockets ahead of this season's trade deadline. Oladipo appeared in only four games with Miami before getting injured, averaging 12 points on 37.2% shooting, 3.5 assists, and 3.5 rebounds over that limited sample size. For the season, he tallied 19.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per contest in 33 appearances.

Oladipo, who's earning $21 million this season, is set to become an unrestricted free agent following the 2020-21 campaign.
