Pacers star Victor Oladipo was stretchered off the court after suffering a serious knee injury against the Raptors on Wednesday night. He was on attempting to chase down a defender when went down.
It’s unclear whether Oladipo hurt his knee running and that caused him to fall or he got tripped up and injured after his knee hit the floor. Whatever the case the injury appeared to involve his knee cap.
Victor was in a considerable amount of pain before he was stretchered off the court.

The Pacers are having a great season and are currently sitting in third place in the East. The rest of the team will have to step it up with Oladipo out of the lineup if they want to finish the season in the top half of the conference.
