Pacers forward Obi Toppin exited Indiana's home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night after spraining his left ankle in the first quarter.

Toppin slipped while trying to pull up for an elbow jumper 8:22 into the contest and limped to the sideline before falling to the floor in pain. He had to be helped to the locker room but was back on the bench at the start of the second quarter.

The Pacers listed Toppin as questionable to return.

Entering Thursday, Toppin, 26, had averages of 10.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 29 games off the bench for Indiana (15-15) this season.
