The Indiana Pacers winning streak came to an end on Thursday night as they fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The final score was 120-114, with Indiana blowing a solid halftime lead.

But one of the biggest storylines from the game was the injury to forward Obi Toppin. Toppin left the game early with a left ankle sprain. The veteran returned before halftime but ended up being ruled out for the second half.

After the game, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle provided an update on the injury. Indiana plays against the Boston Celtics later today and Carlisle gave a guess as to whether the forward would be able to suit up.

"Obi tried to go back out," Carlisle said. "It didn't seem like it was that bad initially and then he felt it when he went back out. I certainly assume he'll miss tomorrow. We'll see. He's been a guy that's bounced back quickly."
