Injuries suck. A lot. The Pacers couldn’t win games when Victor Oladipo was injured. Fans held their breath when Myles Turner showed up at practice with a bionic arm. GR3’s development took a step back thanks to an injury. But nobody lost more of their season than Edmond Sumner, and his injury set back both guard depth and player development for the Pacers organization.
Sumner was at one time a very promising prospect. He was a projected lottery pick from Xavier before he tore his ACL during his junior season, and as a result, he went tumbling down in the draft.
