NBA's Taylor Hendricks Gruesomely Breaks Leg During Game
Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks broke his leg and badly dislocated his ankle during his team's game Monday night ... and the gruesome injury was, unfortunately, all captured by TV cameras.
The horrifying moment happened in the third quarter of Utah's tilt with the Mavericks in Dallas, when Hendricks slipped and landed on top of his leg awkwardly.
WARNING: Utah Jazz sophomore forward Taylor Hendricks tripped over himself, landed wrong, & his leg bent sideways.

The game's broadcast video shows once his full body weight crashed down to the floor -- his limb snapped underneath him -- and almost immediately, he began writhing in pain.
