Orlando, FL (SportsNetwork.com) – It’s been a rough month for Orlando Magic guard Victor Oladipo.

The second-year pro has not played in the preseason because of a sprained left MCL and on Thursday suffered a facial fracture in practice that will keep him sidelined indefinitely.

Oladipo was hurt after taking an inadvertent elbow during a practice drill. He will undergo a corrective surgical procedure on Saturday.

The Indiana product was a First Team All-Rookie selection last season after averaging 13.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 80 games. He finished second in the Rookie of the Year balloting, behind Philadelphia’s Michael Carter-Williams.

Orlando opens its 2014-15 season on Tuesday at New Orleans.
