The Athletic reports on Indiana Pacers' Victor Oladipo whose recent MRI confirmed that a quadriceps tendon in his right knee had ruptured.

"The quadriceps muscle attaches to the kneecap through this tendon he ruptured — the quadriceps tendon — and then the kneecap attaches to the tibia through the patellar tendon, which allows the quadriceps to pull the tibia forward," explains Robert G.
