The good news for Victor Oladipo's fans is that he led the Indiana Pacers in scoring with 21 markers in their 107-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors. The bad news, however, is Oladipo played only 29 minutes as he was forced to leave the court after hurting his right knee.

As such, Oladipo's status is up in the air for the Pacers' matchup against the league-leading Boston Celtics, per an ESPN report. Needless to say, the task at hand hasn't been this large for coach Nate McMillain and company, who would have to rely more on Darren Collison, Myles Turner, and Thaddeus Young just in case.

Small forward Bojan Bogdanovic and Lance Stephenson are also likely to carry more offensive burden if Oladipo indeed misses the game. Stephenson picked up after the former Indiana Hoosier was sent to the bench for good against the Raptors, finishing the game with 18 points and seven rebounds.

There would be a huge void for Indiana without Victor Oladipo, who holds season averages of 22.8 points, five rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.6 steals per game for the Pacers.

The Celtics, meanwhile, will be without forward Marcus Morris and, possibly, Jaylen Brown who's attending the funeral of his best friend who recently passed away.
