Golden State Warriors reserve guard Quinn Cook has shown support for Indiana Pacers star Victor Oladipo by writing ‘VO4' in his sneakers ahead of their showdown with the Boston Celtics.

Oladipo's season came to an end after he suffered a serious injury during the second quarter of the Pacers' game against the Toronto Raptors a few days ago.

With just over four minutes remaining in the first half, the Raptors were in transition for a fast break. Kyle Lowry threw a long outlet pass down the floor. Oladipo was trying to defend Paskal Siakam when the injury took place.

The medical staff covered his knee with a towel after he went down on the floor writhing in pain, and he was soon carried off the court using a stretcher.

The team later announced that Oladipo has been diagnosed with a ruptured quad tendon in his right leg and will require season-ending surgery.

Oladipo will be recovering from an injury that is rare among NBA players. Only Charles Barkley and Tony Parker have suffered from a ruptured quad tendon, and according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pacers are planning to study the San Antonio Spurs' method in helping Parker recover from the said injury.

Oladipo's injury could hurt the Pacers' chances of making a deep run in the playoffs. He's putting up 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game this season. He was also expected to make the All-Star team this year for the second consecutive time before the injury.

He's expected to undergo eight to 12 months of recovery.
