Oladipo sprains wrist on scary fall vs. Celtics

All things considered, this could've ended much, much worse for Victor Oladipo.

The Oklahoma City Thunder guard suffered a mere sprained right wrist when he landed frighteningly hard on his back Sunday night, after flying past Boston Celtics forward Jonas Jerebko on a closeout in the first quarter.

You can see the Thunder bench react immediately, and Oladipo would remain on the ground, barely moving, for several minutes before finally being helped to his feet. He walked gingerly back to the locker room, and did not return to the game.

Oladipo passed concussion protocol before being given the relatively fortunate diagnosis. Subsequent X-rays came back negative, according to The Vertical's Shams Charania.
