Roughly 53 weeks after suffering a ruptured quadriceps tendon in his right knee, Victor Oladipo is set to make his season debut Wednesday night as his Indiana Pacers host the Chicago Bulls. “Obviously a Wednesday night is not going to be as strong as a Saturday night in general, so we’ll be pushing close to a sellout for a Wednesday night,” Pacers senior vice president/chief sales and marketing officer Todd Taylor told the Indianapolis Star. “It’s a very strong indicator for his return.”Neither Pacers coach Nate McMillan nor any team officials have announced how the Pacers will handle Oladipo’s return or if he will face a minutes restriction Wednesday and beyond. After concluding a 3-2 road trip, the Pacers will play seven of their next eight at home. “We came in trying to go 4-1 on this road trip,” Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb said.
