Indiana grad Victor Oladipo will make the trip to Indianapolis Thursday despite the fact that an injury will keep him out of Friday’s game — the Orlando Magic’s second preseason game.
Victor Oladipo won't be able to play Friday night, but he's looking forward to being in Indiana: "It's my second home."

There’s a very good chance that Oladipo, the second overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, could make a trip to Bloomington after arriving in town Thursday, or even Friday afternoon before the game. Oladipo is planning to visit injured Pacers star Paul George today, according to John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com.
Oladipo has a sprained right MCL and the team has not announced a timetable for his return. The regular season tips in three weeks, so they have some time.
The electrifying guard’s NBA career officially started in Indy, when the Pacers hosted the Magic in the first regular-season game of the season last year. Oladipo finished with 12 points, three rebounds, and two assists off the bench, and his Magic lost, 97-87.
