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.

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.

Michael Irvin tells TMZ Sports if his beloved Cowboys don't make a move by the trade deadline next week ... it could be curtains for Dallas' season already.

The Hall of Famer made it crystal clear to us out at LAX on Monday that the only thing that can save his former team from impending irrelevancy is adding a key piece between now and the NFL's Nov. 5 last day of trading.

Irvin told us if the Cowboys don't improve their roster with a swap ... a whole lot more losses like the one they experienced on Sunday night against the 49ers will be heading their way.

Tom Brady posted a cryptic message to his social media on Monday ... mere hours after news broke that his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen is pregnant with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente's, baby.

The NFL icon posted a photo on Instagram of the sunset accompanied by The Chicks' remake of Fleetwood Mac's song "Landslide" ... the caption features the lyrics "Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?"

As the song plays ... users hear, "Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?"

Gisele Bündchen didn't want Tom Brady to find out she was pregnant with another man's baby by reading about it in the news ... so she told her ex-husband she was expecting before media caught wind.

Sources tell TMZ ... Gisele informed Tom and their two children that she was pregnant with Joaquim Valente's child before the news broke.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.

Dwyane Wade is acknowledging his new statue in Miami doesn't look a whole lot like him ... but if ya thought he'd be pissed about it -- think again!!

The Heat legend on Monday addressed all the backlash his Kesaya Center monument got following its big reveal on Sunday ... and while he admitted it does have a bit of a Laurence Fishburne look to it -- he's super happy about it nonetheless.

Wade explained he doesn't think it has to be a 100 percent accurate rendering of him in order to be perfect ... telling media members just before Miami's tilt vs. Detroit that it was always supposed to be merely an "artistic" depiction of his iconic "This is my house!" celebration.

Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente are starting a family ... because she has a bun in the oven.

44-year-old Gisele is pregnant and expecting her first child with Joaquim, sources close to the model confirm to TMZ. Were told she's about 5 or 6 months along in her pregnancy.

Our sources say Gisele and JV are waiting until birth to find out if they have a baby girl or a baby boy ... so no gender reveal parties for them. We're told Gisele also waited to learn the gender at birth for her other two children.

Gisele has two kids that she shares with her ex husband Tom Brady ... 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian. Sources tell TMZ that Gisele told Tom and their kids about her baby joy before the news got out.

Ric Flair's stepson, Sebastian Kidder, sent a message to his father just before he died by suicide on Saturday, TMZ Sports has learned.

Ryan Winderweedle, a spokesperson for the Gwinnett County Police Dept., shared the heartbreaking detail with us on Monday ... explaining Kidder's biological dad, Paul, told police he received a text from Kidder at around 4 PM -- just before he passed away.

Winderweedle said Paul then placed a 911 call, and Kidder was found dead from a gunshot at the family's home a short time later. Winderweedle said investigators discovered an envelope with a note inside that was left on a table in Kidder's bedroom.

The World Series is breaking records in Japan ... with an average of 15.9 MILLION viewers tuning in to catch the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Yankees in Game 2 -- making it the most watched outing in MLB postseason history in the country.

The league released the astounding numbers on Monday ... revealing the first two games of the Fall Classic averaged almost 30 million viewers in the U.S. and Japan.

MLB said it wasn't just popular in Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto's native country -- the matchup also saw a 93% increase within the younger audience (ages 18 to 34).

Logan Paul is clapping back at all the negativity surrounding his Lunchly company ... saying despite haters praying for its downfall, the sales tell a different story.

The WWE Superstar made one of his usual fact-checking videos on Monday ... this time, addressing his Lunchables alternative -- specifically, the rumblings that the product has been yanked from shelves at the FDA's instruction.

Logan -- who partnered with KSI and MrBeast for the venture -- claimed he got to the bottom of the rumor ... tracking down a grocery store employee who allegedly fessed up to typing a note, printing it out and posting it after hearing chatter about a recall -- but took it down after learning it wasn't true.

The Dodgers say Shohei Ohtani WILL play game 3 of the World Series -- despite partially dislocating his shoulder -- the question is, how effective can he actually be?! TMZ Sports talked to an orthopedic sports surgeon about the injury.

"Ohtani's apparent shoulder injury during the last game of the World Series was diagnosed as a shoulder subluxation," Dr. David Abbasi told us, adding, "That is not as severe as a shoulder dislocation."

FYI, a subluxation is where the ball (humeral head) of the shoulder joint partially slips out of the socket ... compared to a full dislocation where the ball fully slips out of the glenoid cavity.

Eminem and Kid Rock are showing folks how to put politics aside and unite behind a common cause ... in the most American way possible ... finding common ground over football!!!

According to the outlet, the 29-year-old made $9.8 million this year.

Joe Rogan is spilling the tea on his podcast experience with Donald Trump last week ... while also making it clear he'd like to see Kamala Harris in the hot seat, too.

On "The Joe Rogan Experience," Joe admitted he was really pumped for the interview because he had a lot to cover with Trump ... but he found himself having to steer him back to the main points since the former prez tended to go off on tangents.

Joe gave an example, saying that when they talked about the "JFK Files," he told Trump his comments made it seem like the government was involved ... and he said the Republican presidential nominee "danced a little" in response.

Ric Flair shared a heartbreaking farewell to his stepson, Sebastian Kidder ... saying the 24-year-old musician was "Multi-talented & in everybody’s eyes a huge success and will always be remembered that way."

The wrestling legend broke his silence after Sebastian's death ... explaining he unfortunately understands the agony of losing a child -- as his son, Reid, died of a drug overdose in 2013.
