There is no set return date for Pacers star Victor Olapido.

The guard and coach Nate McMillan addressed reporters Friday at the team's media day and talked in detail about the process of rehabbing from Olapido's gruesome knee injury in January.

"Let's be real, I am human," Olapido said. "It hasn't been easy. There have been tough days. There have been days that have been tougher than others. But for the most part, I've survived every single one of them. So, when I say I'm coming back better than ever, I'm not just saying that because it sounds good. I truly believe that."

The two-time All-Star ruptured his right quad tendon in late January during a loss to the eventual NBA champion Raptors.

There was no immediate timetable on his return and McMillan emphasized Friday that the team still doesn't know when exactly it can expect Olapido, who was in the middle of a breakout season, back on the court.

"I know that he will not start the season," McMillian told reporters. "I haven't had any information given to me that he will be practicing live with the team anytime soon, so I don't anticipate Victor being available for a while. I don't really know what 'a while' is."

Oladipo, 27, averaged 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists last year and was selected as an NBA All-Star for the second consecutive season, but was replaced by Nets guard D'Angelo Russell after suffering the injury.​

He was named the NBA's Most Improved Player during the 2017-18 season.
