Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo exited Wednesday’s matchup with the Toronto Raptors with what is feared to be a season-ending knee injury, ESPN reported.

Oladipo’s leg bent awkwardly as he fell to the floor while trying to disrupt an outlet pass to the Raptors’ Pascal Siakam. The team announced Oladipo will undergo an MRI exam on Thursday, but ESPN reported, citing league sources, that a preliminary examination has the Pacers fearful the injury will be season-ending.

The magnitude of the injury was obvious quickly.

Trainers placed a towel over Oladipo’s leg, and players from both teams surrounded the six-year veteran. Fans gave him a standing ovation as he was carted off the floor on a stretcher and reporters were detoured from their normal path to the media work room while Oladipo apparently was being evaluated in the hallway.

“There’s no other choice but business as usual,” assistant coach Dan Burke told Fox Sports Indiana at halftime. “For 24 minutes, we have to have our focus right here. Our hearts and thoughts might be somewhere else, but we have to focus.”

The Pacers, behind 23 points and 15 rebounds from Thaddeus Young, held on to beat Toronto 110-106. It was clear, though, that the injury was going to overshadow the rest of the game — if not Indiana’s season.

Oladipo was an All-Star last season and has been the Pacers’ top scorer so far this season, averaging 19.2 points per game.

He’ll undergo an MRI on Thursday, according to the team.

Reaction to the injury poured in quickly across social media, with expressions of support toward Oladipo from the likes of LeBron James and Paul George.

“Prayers up VO,” George wrote on Twitter, with four sets of praying hand emoji.
