With 2:57 remaining in the third quarter, he finished an emphatic dunk but landed awkwardly and immediately grabbed his right knee. He collapsed to the floor and was unable to leave the court on his own.

The Pacers are high on Furphy, who has been a key contributor this season. He has started 21 of 35 games and is averaging 5.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.

The 21-year-old forward out of Kansas is in his second NBA season.
