VICTOR Oladipo is testing the Miami property market while his future at the Miami Heat remains up in the air.
The 31-year-old shooting guard was forced to miss the Heat’s run to the NBA Finals with a gruesome knee injury against the Milwaukee Bucks in the opening playoff round.

Oladipo has a $9.5million player option for next season as part of the two-year deal he signed last summer with the Heat.
But with his long-term future in Miami far from certain, he has listed his palatial 6,500-square-foot home in Miami Beach for $9.995million.
Oladipo is hoping to make a tidy profit on the seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom home he purchased for $7.75million in 2021 after he was traded from the Houston Rockets.
The house is located on Hibiscus Island, an exclusive gated island south of the Venetian Islands which is just three miles from the Heat’s Kaseya Center.
Sitting on one-and-a-half lots, the mansion has a gourmet kitchen, high-end fittings, soaring ceilings and a large swimming pool accompanied by outdoor seating.
The primary bedroom offers two walk-in closets and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the island.
The guesthouse was revamped by budding musician Oladipo to contain a $50,000 recording studio, where he has been recording songs for his next album.
Hibiscus Island includes a waterfront park, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds and a 24-hour police officer stationed at the main entrance.
Oladipo, though, is seeking a home with more land for himself and his family.
“I would love for my daughter to have a tennis court, or just land so she can run and play around,” he told the Wall Street Journal.
Oladipo has made over $115million in his 10-year NBA career so far.
