Miami Heat's Victor Oladipo tore his left patellar tendon during the fourth quarter of their game against the Milwaukee Bucks, which will end his 10th NBA season.

Mets Closer Edwin Diaz Injured During WBC Celebration
New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz will undergo surgery to repair a full-thickness tear of the patellar tendon in his right knee, with a general timeline for recovery of around eight months. Diaz was injured during the celebration after closing out last night's World Baseball Classic quarterfinal matchup. With Diaz sidelined for what could be the entire season, the Mets' bullpen will instead lean on veterans like David Robertson and Adam Ottavino in the late innings. Diaz's absence will place a strain on the relief corps as a whole and perhaps spur the Mets to explore the market to bring in some bullpen help from outside the organization.
