Nothing in the statement is particularly surprising. The prognosis seems good for Oladipo, but the recovery time will be lengthy, and the most optimistic hope is that he may be ready somewhere around the start of next season.

Oladipo certainly has shown the right mentality to battle back from this. Hopefully his rehab goes well and he’s back on the court soon.
