Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo exited Thursday's 110-104 win over the Los Angeles Lakers after appearing to injure his right knee.

After cutting to the hoop for a dunk midway through the fourth quarter, Oladipo came down clutching his right knee.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said postgame that the 28-year-old will be evaluated on Friday, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel's Ira Winderman.

Heading into Thursday's tilt, Oladipo was averaging 19.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 steals per game across stops with the Indiana Pacers, Houston Rockets, and Heat.
