MIAMI (AP) — Victor Oladipo and the Miami Heat found out that he tore his left patellar tendon in Game 3 against Milwaukee at home. Oladipo learned Sunday after an MRI that he tore his left patellar tendon, the team announced. The injury is season-ending and calls his availability for the start of next season into some doubt as well. He’ll need his third major surgery in just over four years. Eighth-seeded Miami holds a 2-1 lead over the top-seeded Bucks going into Game 4 on Monday night.
