Victor Oladipo wants to continue his NBA career. He made his intentions clear with a post on X.

The Indiana Hoosiers product entered the league in 2013 as the No. 2 pick. He has played 10 seasons, earning two All-Star selections and making the All-NBA third team in 2018. Oladipo highlighted that he has a lot left in the tank and is ready for an opportunity to prove himself.

"I’m a free agent," Oladipo wrote. "I don’t have an agent right now just me and my family. I know I have a lot left, and I genuinely love this game. I’d rather show you I’m ready than spend my time trying to explain why or flood you with analytics to prove it. If you’re about winning, value mentorship, and think there could be a fit, you can reach me directly.

"I’m open to every opportunity right now—I just want to make sure I weigh each one carefully. I can’t wait to share my story."

Oladipo last played in the NBA in 2023 with the Miami Heat. He suffered a torn patellar tendon in his left knee in the playoffs and was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the summer.

The 6-foot-3 guard was then dealt to the Houston Rockets in October 2023. He never saw action for them as he was once again moved on Feb. 1, 2024, to the Memphis Grizzlies before getting waived a week later.

Oladipo joined the Wisconsin Herd of the G League, suiting up for them for 28 games.

His NBA options appear limited as teams close in on finalizing their respective lineups. However, some teams could extend workout invitations to him, which may offer his best chance of landing a roster spot.
