During the first quarter of the game between the visiting Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night, one of the home team's key players, Victor Oladipo, suffered a scary fall.
Oladipo bit on a pump fake by Jonas Jerebko on a corner three, landing awkwardly on his back and hitting his head. He laid motionless for a few minutes as team doctors and medical staff attended to him.

The good news is that Oladipo was able to regain consciousness and stand on his own, then walk himself to the locker room. He did not return to the game.
It is expected that the young guard will undergo a series of tests and could possibly be placed under the league's concussion protocol.
The OKC faithful are hoping Victor Oladipo did not suffer anything serious and that he can return to play as soon as possible as he is one of the most important players on the team. He's been playing solid basketball this season with averages of 16.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.
