The Grizzlies waived Oladipo (knee) on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Oladipo is still recovering from April surgery to repair a patellar tendon in his left knee and is without a clear timeline for a return, so he's unlikely to sign with a team anytime soon upon clearing waivers. Since the 2018-19 campaign, Oladipo has made just 142 total regular-season appearances, with knee injuries being the primary cause of his missed time. Though he's just 31 years old, Oladipo's time as an impact player in the NBA appears to be over.

Grizzlies' Victor Oladipo: Traded to Memphis
Rotowire
The Grizzlies acquired Oladipo (knee) and three future second-round draft picks from the Rockets on Thursday in exchange for Steven Adams (knee), Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Oladipo hasn't played this season and doesn't have a clear timetable for this return from knee surgery, so Memphis acquired him mainly for the purpose of gaining cap flexibility and shedding the contract of Adams, who is also out for the rest of the season. If can return at some point this season, Oladipo would bring added depth to the Memphis backcourt, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Grizzlies looked to move him elsewhere ahead of the Feb. 8 trade deadline in a separate deal.
