Overview
- Wisconsin Herd acquired Oladipo’s returning player rights after the Santa Cruz Warriors first claimed him from the G League player pool.
- The rights deal sent Wisconsin’s 2027 first-round G League draft pick to Santa Cruz, with the Herd also receiving a 2026 second-round pick.
- Oladipo, 33, has not appeared in the NBA since 2022-23 and was injured in the first round of the 2023 playoffs while with the Heat.
- He recently logged preseason action with the CBA’s Guangzhou Loong Lions following summer workouts in Las Vegas.
- The G League stint represents a significant pay cut — with a reported $45,000 maximum salary — but offers a platform to pursue an NBA call-up.
