The former All-NBA selection last played in the league in 2023, with the Miami Heat, during which he averaged 10.7 points per game in 42 appearances. His peak years came with the Indiana Pacers in the late 2010s. Oladipo has two All-Star selections to his career, both coming with the Pacers in 2018 and 2019.

Now 33 years old, Oladipo has battled back from several significant injuries that have dramatically altered his career. After multiple serious knee injuries, most recently a torn patella during the 2023 NBA Playoffs, Oladipo was traded multiple times and later released. He would later sign with the Guangzhou Loong-Lions in China.
Bucks fans will be hoping that Oladipo can return to become a solid player and eventually join the Bucks roster, adding to a strong guard group currently helmed by the emerging Ryan Rollins, free agent signing Cole Anthony, and the recently extended AJ Green.
