Victor Oladipo Could Rest On Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (rest) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It's fair to assume that the Pacers play it safe here and rest Oladipo. He has not played in back-to-back sets since suffering his injury in 2019. On Monday, Oladipo played 37 minutes, so it wouldn't be surprising to […]
