ESPN reported on Tuesday that Oladipo's salary
situation is unresolved.
The players union and the NBA have reviewed factors related to
Oladipo's opt-out decision, which he said was tied to injury
risk after missing parts of the past two seasons. But Oladipo
also said in an interview with The Athletic two weeks ago that
he's healthy.
Healthy players who opt out of the restart forfeit their
remaining salary per NBA rules.
ESPN reported that the union believes Oladipo is owed his
remaining salary. Oladipo cleared quarantine and is with the
team near Orlando where he is also looking healthy, according to
coach Nate McMillan.
"We are not approaching it as if he's not playing," McMillan
said this week. "We are putting him out there. There are no
restrictions for Vic. He's been going hard."
Oladipo missed 12 months with a torn quad tendon.
He has one year and $21 million remaining on his current
contract.
