Utah forward Taylor Hendricks fractured his right fibula and dislocated his ankle during the third quarter of the Jazz's 110-102 loss to the host Dallas Mavericks on Monday night.
Hendricks sustained the injuries with 5:59 remaining in the third, with his right leg getting caught up under him as he fell to the floor while getting back on offense.
A stretcher had to be brought out for Hendricks, who will miss the rest of the season, according to a report by ESPN.
"That's hard to stomach," Utah coach Will Hardy said. "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."
Prior to exiting the meeting with Dallas, Hendricks had two points, three rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes of action.
Hendricks, 20, is in his second NBA season. The Jazz selected him with the ninth overall pick in the 2023 draft out of UCF.
In three games (all starts) this season, Hendricks posted averages of 4.7 points and five rebounds.
