Anyone get a good look at the play?

I did...Felt like it happened in slow motion... And Canaan’s reaction was so benign. So ho-hum...
Feel terrible for the kid...

Anyone get a good look at the play?

No and they announced they would not replay it. 'Must have been pretty bad.

Okay here is more.

Isaiah Canaan is down and his left ankle is pointing in a direction it shouldn’t. Bone came out. Suns team in shock

8:05 PM - 31 Jan 2018

Terrible, terrible.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

I saw it. Reminded me of the Hayward injury.

He was driving to the basket and got fouled. I don't know if he landed on someone or just the floor tying to brace himself. His knee and his leg went the wrong way. It was brutal

Thanks to all for the feedback.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm wondering if Ulis is available tonight.

Terrible, terrible.

Yep... his foot was pointed in a 90 degree angle to his left. It looked grotesque, but he just sat there as if nothing was wrong! Amazing...

Impressive bounce-back from Jackson after his 0-13 game. (I know that this is his second game since then.) I wonder if it has helped him relax, like, "Well it can't get any worse than that, so I might as well just play."

That's what threw me. It looked like he only tweaked an ankle so I wasn't looking closely.

He may have been in shock.

 

[SweetD]

Cannon is done, maybe for good. Wow that was a bad break. I wonder if we could get Jackson to slow down and play point.

 

[82CardsGrad]

He may have been in shock.

I don’t think so... he seemed totally aware. Was shaking his head and appeared to be totally in the moment by talking with players and coaches.

 

[Mainstreet]

Left ankle fracture is the reported diagnosis for Canaan.

Canaan has left ankle fracture

8:16 PM - 31 Jan 2018

 

[Evil Ash]

Thanks to all for the feedback.

The only good thing about it was that he wasn't showing any signs of pain yet (due to a combination of shock and adrenaline)

One tough dude. Too bad.

I was watching him on the floor and initially thought it was only minor. A lady in the crowd was grimacing is what caught my attention but they were not showing anything then.

Wonder if Suns might call up Josh Gray from NAZ Suns. He was just Player of Week in G League

One good trait jackson has is that he can move past bad performances and he often does in a hurry. What started his good stretch of play was getting benched

 

[Mainstreet]

Ulis is now in the game.

 

[BC867]

Nowhere near as important as the severity of Canaan's injury, but it is disappointing that he finally just started getting a chance at the Point.

 

[BC867]

Last second shot by Jackson, so our lead is back to double digits at halftime -- 57-46.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson with a crazy shot at the halftime buzzer.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Jackson is looking really good tonight.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This would be such a crucial loss, but man is Jackson having a nice game. That last shot shows his immense talent. That was a ridiculous shot.
