jazz forward Taylor Hendricks Tim MacMahon of ESPN tweeted that he suffered a fractured right fibula and dislocated ankle during the second half of Utah’s game against Dallas on Monday night.

Hendricks’ injury occurred on a non-contact play as he ran into the offensive lane. He took an awkward step and fell to the ground with his lower leg bent unnaturally. He was taken away on a stretcher.

Hendricks had to be sidelined quickly due to a right ankle injury, the Jazz’s PR department tweeted. He will return to Utah with the team for further testing, MacMahon added.

Hendricks made his third start this season. He averaged six points and six rebounds in the first two games and was 0-for-5 from the field in 21 minutes against the Mavs.

The 20-year-old Hendricks was the ninth pick in last year’s draft. As a rookie, he appeared in 40 NBA games, including 23 starts. He averaged 7.3 points and 4.6 rebounds in 21.4 minutes per game.

With Hendricks likely to be sidelined for an extended period of time, more playing time will be freed up for other players.
