James Wiseman suffered a non-contact leg injury Wednesday night less than one quarter into his debut with the Indiana Pacers .

The 23-year-old appeared to suffer the injury while backpedaling after shooting a 3 -pointer from the top of the key.

Wiseman struggled to walk at mid-court and needed help from teammate Obi Toppin to limp off the floor.

He went immediately to the Pacers locker room and was almost immediately ruled out for the rest of the game.
