Indiana Pacers: Where things stand for the team at the NBA hiatus

Return of Victor Oladipo

The return of All-Star shooting guard Victor Oladipo has not gone as smoothly as the state of Indiana would have liked. In his first game back against the Chicago Bulls on January 29, the stadium was sold out and fans were eager for the return.

He started off slow, but with 10 seconds left on the clock, Oladipo showed his clutch gene as he tied the game at 100 with a three from beyond 30 feet. The last game that the Pacers played was the best game for Oladipo. He looked like the Oladipo of old. The Blue and Gold headed into the fourth quarter down 14 and Oladipo did his best to rally his team. The Pacers lost 114-111, but he did everything he could.

Oladipo ended the game with 27 points on 9-16 shooting. He also had four assists and seven rebounds. Besides those two games, Oladipo has had quite a rough start. He is averaging 13.8 points per game on 39.1 percent shooting. He is also averaging 3.0 assists and 3.2 rebounds. He seemed to have turned things around in the last game against the Celtics.
