Hoosiers in the NBA: Victor Oladipo taken off on stretcher on Wednesday

The five year vet was taken off the court on a stretcher on Wednesday, after injuring his knee against the Raptors.

Former Hoosiers’ guard Victor Oladipo had to be taken off the court on a stretcher after a fall against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.

All of the early reports fear that it is a “serious” knee injury that will sideline him for the rest of the season, but he will be undergoing an MRI on Thursday to see the full extent of the injury.

Oladipo was injured when he was trying to block a pass in transition and planted, with his leg giving out. Immediately after, Oladipo was seen waving over the training staff, while teammates surrounded him. Play was stopped and he spent a good amount of time on the ground, with a towel placed over his leg.

Many players took to twitter following the news, to wish him the best.

The 2018 All-Star was in the midst of another terrific season the the Pacers, averaging 19.0 points per game, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 35 games this season.

A huge reason for the Pacers’ success this season, Oladipo helped them to a 31-15 record, good enough for third place in the Eastern Conference.

Still awaiting news on Oladipo, the Pacers will surely look to make some addition before the trade deadline on Feb 7.

The Pacers would go on to win the game, 110-106 continuing their three game win streak.
