NBA Players Send Well-Wishes To Victor Oladipo After Knee Injury
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.
