Australian guard Johnny Furphy's promising NBA season has been brought to a premature end by a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
Indiana young gun Furphy, 21, injured his right knee in the Pacers' 122-104 loss to Toronto on Sunday (Monday AEDT).
Furphy drove to the basket and dunked but hurt himself on the landing, immediately clutching at his right knee as he fell to the floor.
