When the Indiana Pacers (19-18) travel to take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, they again are going to be without the services of rising star guard Victor Oladipo for the fourth straight game.
According to a tweet on Tuesday from the Pacers' official Twitter account, Oladipo was ruled out due to his sore right knee that limited him to only 26 minutes of action against the Detroit Pistons on Dec. 26.
Injury report for tomorrow at Milwaukee.
Victor Oladipo: Out (sore right knee)
Glenn Robinson III: Out (left ankle surgery rehab)
Edmond Sumner: Out (left knee surgery rehab)— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) January 2, 2018
The Pacers can't afford to rush their leading scorer back, but it's clear as ever that the team sorely misses him on the court. Without Oladipo in the lineup, the team has lost four straight games and is in danger of falling to .500 if they can't get the job done in Milwaukee on Wednesday.
Per a video posted by FOX Sports Indiana:
“We obviously have lost a rhythm,” Pacers head coach Nate McMillan said on Sunday after his team's 117-90 home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. “We just have to stay together and continue to work. Getting off to these slow starts and we certainly looked like we have lost a little confidence.”
In 33 starts this season for Indiana, Oladipo is currently averaging a very impressive stat line with 24.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.0 blocked shot per game in roughly 34.4 minutes of action per contest.
