Cleveland Charge Acquire Victor Oladipo in G League Trade

The move gives the Cavaliers’ affiliate a veteran guard pursuing an NBA return following significant injuries.

Overview

  • The Wisconsin Herd sent Victor Oladipo to the Cleveland Charge in exchange for the returning player rights to Jacob Gilyard and Drake Jeffries plus a 2026 G League second-round pick and a 2026 G League International Draft pick.
  • Oladipo has appeared in 15 G League games this season, averaging about 13.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.1 steals on 38.9% shooting from the field and 32.9% from three.
  • The Charge could debut Oladipo on February 21 against the Westchester Knicks, pending his availability.
  • The two-time NBA All-Star and 2013 No. 2 draft pick last played in the NBA with the Miami Heat in 2022–23, when he tore his left patellar tendon in the playoffs.
  • The acquisition positions Oladipo for increased visibility and evaluation with Cleveland’s affiliate, with no guarantee of an NBA call-up.
