Oladipo was 5/13 (2/7 from 3) for 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 TOs. Missed his last 5 shots. 

You beat me to it!  If he could have a made a couple of the last ones it might have put OKC over the Rockets.  Another night of not getting to the free throw line at all, but I guess the up side is he didn't miss any!

  Eric Gordon had a nice game.

Yeah, Oladipo is really streaky. He had a great 7-8 games stretch and is now back to having bad games.

Crap!  With 5.2 left in the first quarter in the Thunder/Celtics game, Victor fell from about 6 ft. up while playing defense and landed flat on his back.  After several minutes he stiffly walked to the locker room on his own.  It was pretty scary.

To start the 2nd half, after a "holy crap is he going to walk again", they said he has a sprained, right, wrist!

Thunder guard Victor Oladipo suffers sprained wrist in hard fall

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Thunder guard Victor Oladipo was ruled out to return with a sprained right wrist against the Boston Celtics after taking a hard fall and landing on his upper back and neck area near the Oklahoma City bench.

Oladipo went to contest a corner 3 by Jonas Jerebko late in the first quarter, but as Jerebko pump-faked and put the ball on the floor, Oladipo's foot caught his shoulder, flipping the Thunder guard over and onto his back.

He remained down by the Thunder bench for a number of minutes before sitting up and eventually walking back to the locker room under his own power. He underwent concussion protocol in the locker room and was cleared in that regard.

The Thunder play on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers, and Oladipo's availability is uncertain. Guard Anthony Morrow started the second half in place of Oladipo against the Celtics.

Oladipo, 24, is the Thunder's second-leading scorer, averaging 16.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 23 games this season.

That was one of the scariest falls I've seen and how he got up from that and walked out under his own power is a miracle.

Here's the ESPN link with the video of it. Can't believe he only got a sprained wrist.

I backed it up to watch it again live while watching the game and I was sorry I did!  He really hit the floor hard.  I always worry about concussions with him too because he had them with the Magic.

An ESPN blurb said he passed the concussion protocols.

Good, so glad. Donovan on his reaction to Oladipo falling: "I felt the thump with my feet. The floor kinda shook."

PORTLAND, Ore. – Victor Oladipo will miss Tuesday’s game against the Trail Blazers, but the Thunder guard won’t require surgery on the right wrist he sprained in Sunday’s win against the Boston Celtics.   

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,881]

Vic out again tonight with a sprained wrist.

The Thunder guard is out for Wednesday’s game, a team spokesman said, with the sore right wrist that caused him to miss Tuesday’s game at Portland. Oladipo injured his wrist in a hard fall during Sunday’s game against Boston. .... “Obviously it’s different,” Russell Westbrook said of playing without Oladipo. “But his health is more important than the game, and we all understand that. He’s gonna take his time and get back. When he’s ready he’ll get back on the floor.”

I can't find the finished product anymore, but here is the out take one of the NBA Christmas commercial Victor is in.

 

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,689]

Victor is out again today.  This is the 3rd.

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,689]

Victor is out again tonight for the Thunder game against the Hawks.  Billy Donovan was asked if he needed surgery and he said, He just needs time to heal.

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,689]

Tonight will be the 5th consecutive absence for Oladipo.  The Thunder are 1-3 without him.

Just read that he has been working on shooting left handed.

Victor will miss the game Friday night against the Celtics.  No change in his condition.
