[RealGM Wiretap]

Taylor Hendricks suffered a fractured right fibula and dislocated ankle on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks.

Hendricks, who will have further testing in Utah, is expected to miss the rest of the season.

Hendricks was injured without any contact in the third quarter.

"He's put in a lot of hard work. He's a great kid, and so we're really just trying to focus on him, his health, keeping him up, his spirits up as he begins the road of his recovery. But these are the moments in sports that suck," said Will Hardy.

I've watched the video of the injury. It's hard to comprehend how he suffered such an injury without contact, etc. Best wishes in recovery.

I'm wondering the same thing. Hope he fully recovers as soon as possible; he's got a lot of potential. He was one of my favorite prospects out of the draft in 2023.

Hate to see this sort of thing.

Damn, that's horrific. Well, at least he's young.

I knew it was bad the moment I saw it happen because it was a no contact injury, but how do you even fracture your fibula without contact?

I’m guessing that the ankle went first, and then the end of the fibula collided with the ankle internally and the stress of the fall caused the fracture. It’s awful no matter what.
