Victor Oladipo has emerged as one of the better shooting guards in the NBA with the Indiana Pacers, but it appears the Pacers now will be without their best scorer for some time.
Oladipo was stretchered off in the second quarter of Wednesday night’s game against the Toronto Raptors after suffering a right knee injury. The 26-year-old awkwardly fell while chasing down a loose ball and immediately clutched his knee while writhing in pain. Team trainers placed a towel over Oladipo’s knee while teammates looked on in concern in a tense moment.

The Pacers confirmed the injury was serious and that Oladipo is scheduled for an MRI.
Oladipo is averaging 19.2 points a game with the Pacers. After the injury, many NBA superstars sent their well wishes Oladipo’s way on Twitter.
