On Wednesday evening, the Miami Heat will host the Denver Nuggets for Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Florida.
However, they will remain without two-time NBA All-Star Victor Oladipo, who was ruled out for the season back in April.
Before Game 3, Oladipo sent out a tweet that went viral on Twitter.
Oladipo tweeted: "If you want to see how they feel about you get hurt while your team in the finals. They going to come out of no where with the ticket requests, but hold time ain’t even checked on me since the last solar eclipse. #Comedy"
Oladipo was one of the best shooting guards in the league while he was on the Indiana Pacers, but he has had a long history of injuries since that point.
Before getting injured, the former Indiana Hoosier averaged 10.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting 39.7% from the field in 42 games.
In addition to the Heat and Pacers, Oladipo has had stints with the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder and Orlando Magic.
Arguably the best year of his career came in 2018 (with the Pacers) when he averaged 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.4 steals per contest while shooting 47.7% from the field.
As for the Heat, they are tied up at 1-1 with the Nuggets after splitting Games 1 and 2 in Denver.
They are in the middle of a miraculous run through the 2023 postseason and are only the second 8th seed ever to reach the NBA Finals.
