Just saw this on one of the message boards for OKC.

 

"So I saw Victor this morning at church and talked to him. He said he's starting to Feel better but based on the way he and his mom were talking, this is much more serious than we've been let on. Its a very legit lower back problem. He was having trouble walking normally, definitely going out of his way to avoid pain. He was also constantly trying to stretch out his back. I'm not sure Vic will be back for a few more weeks."

Sounds like some disc issues, IMO. Every disc in my lower back is shot and have trouble walking at times and there is a definite measure to avoid pain! I hope that's not the case, but who knows. Hope he gets better with no problems, really like watching him play.

This is what Billy Donovan said after practice yesterday.  "We didn't really do a lot of contact, but he shot.  Tomorrow at shot around we'll probably do a lot more activity than we did today.  Today was really film and areas of improvement.  We took Victor with just Doug, Taj, and Norris and ran through some offense and he was fine going through all that stuff.  He shot after.  Did skill work.  He said he feels good.  I just kind of leave it up to the medical staff.  He was here and seemed like he was doing well.  He's cleared to do that (activity) and we'll see how he feels.  I'll have a better feel after shot around to see where he's at.  The time back here certainly helped him get better."

Just now, IUfan_Charlie said:

Thunder win 112-104. Vic finished with 22 points (8-15, 3-6 from 3, 3-4 FT), 4 assists. Only took 2 shots in the second half because it turned into a Westbrook brickfest. 

You beat me to it!  Victor was The Thunder player of the game two games in a row.

Victor commented after Saturday's game. Though he missed six games resting his back, the time off helped Victor Oladipo in more ways than one, Brett Dawson of the Oklahoman writes. “It was amazing for my wrist, actually,” Oladipo said. “I’m not one to complain. It wasn’t 100 percent, but that rest kind of helped it out a little bit. It’s a lot better now.”
