Orlando Magic guard Devin Cannady had to be stretchered off the court Sunday after a gruesome ankle injury.
Cannady attempted to defend a layup attempt late in the first quarter against the Indiana Pacers and landed awkwardly on his right leg. He went down immediately, screaming in pain. There was blood on the court around his ankle, and teammate Mo Bamba rushed to cover the injury with his own jersey.
Cannady was eventually taken off the court in a stretcher. The Magic said he suffered an open fracture of his right ankle, which will require surgery.
The undrafted rookie out of Princeton made his NBA debut earlier this month and signed a two-way contract with the Magic on April 16.
Cannady, 24, entered Sunday’s game averaging 4.9 points in seven games this season.
