Things aren't getting any better for the Indiana Pacers. On Sunday, they lost 122–104 to the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, extending Indiana's losing streak to four games.
An injury to second-year forward Johnny Furfee in the second half made the day worse for Indiana.
The 21-year-old Furphy cut to the basket during the Pacers' possession in the third quarter and tried to go up for a dunk.
He made a throwdown, but after landing on the floor it appeared that he was injured. Furfy immediately grabbed his right knee in obvious pain.
The former Kansas Jayhawks star later went to the locker room in a wheelchair, which was not an encouraging sight for the Pacers and their fans.
Here's a short clip of his landing and injury:

Before leaving the Raptors game, Furphy scored four points on 2-for-3 shooting from the field, dished out three assists and grabbed two rebounds in 15 minutes of action.
Furphy's injury adds to the headache for Indiana, which is already missing the services of star point guard Tyrese Haliburton for the entire 2025-26 NBA season.
The Pacers are also without Obi Toppin, while the team's newcomer and trade deadline acquisition Ivica Zubac and forward Kobe Brown are still not with the team.
The beleaguered Pacers, who went 13-40, will try to bounce back and win their first game on their current road trip against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in New York on Tuesday.
