(UNDATED) - All-Star guard Victor Oladipo plans to ramp up activity with the Indiana Pacers starting next week and evaluate his repaired torn quad tendon prior to making a final commitment to playing in the season's restart in Orlando, he told media on Saturday. Oladipo, 28, is hopeful to return to play with the Pacers, but wants to limit the risk of significant injury after returning in January from a full year of rehabilitating the torn right quad tendon. The Pacers have been cautious and working cooperatively with Oladipo throughout his rehab and return, and plan to continue closely monitoring and managing his recovery with the looming restart. Players must inform teams by Wednesday if they plan to participate in the season's 22-team restart in Orlando -- and teams must provide the league a roster of eligible players by July 1. However, Oladipo and the Pacers can push a decision on his return through the month of July as he ramps up in Indianapolis and Orlando for training camps. Indiana would simply keep Oladipo on its active roster until a decision is made. A team can sign a substitute player from an eligible pool of players to replace a roster player -- and that replaced player will be ineligible to return. Oladipo had his best game of the season -- 27 points against the Boston Celtics in his final performance prior to the March 11 shutdown of the season. The Pacers are 39-26, fifth in the Eastern Conference.
