Monday night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks took a horrific turn when Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks went down with a significant injury.

Hendricks, who was the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft, appeared to slip and fall. The awkward fall caused an injury serious enough that he was stretchered off the field and the broadcast did not show a replay out of respect for Hendricks.

According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, Hendricks suffered a broken right fibula and a dislocated ankle.

Staff members from both teams rushed the field to help cover his leg with towels while medical staff tended to Hendricks.

The nature of the injury caused players around him, including PJ Washington, to visibly react when it happened. Several jazz players were shocked and emotional, including Keyonte George and Walker Kessler.

Players from both teams came by and showed their support for Hendricks as he was taken off the field.
