Victor Oladipo back for Miami next month?

Victor Oladipo, working his way back from a major offseason knee surgery, moved around very well on the Heat’s practice court following Tuesday’s session, lofting jumpers in a vigorous workout, running without any visible limp and working with Heat assistant coaches. His jump shot was generally on target and he was the last player to leave the court. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he returns at some point in February, which was the original expectation of the Heat.

Tyler Herro is listed as probable for tomorrow’s game vs. Knicks.
Kyle Lowry, Markieff Morris, KZ Okpala and Victor Oladipo remain out for the Heat. – 5:52 PM

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Herro listed as probable by Heat for Wednesday vs. Knicks, but assuredly will play. Out for Heat: Lowry, Morris, Okpala, Oladipo. Knicks listing Derrick Rose as out, with Mitchell Robinson and Nerlens Noel as questionable. Chris Silva will become ineligible once Herro returns. – 5:49 PM
