NBA players react to Victor Oladipo's season-ending injury, as Indiana Pacers confirm the guard ruptured a quad tendon in his right knee.

Indiana Pacers’ guard Victor Oladipo was carried off the court in a stretcher after suffering a serious knee injury during last night's game against the Toronto Raptors.
