Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks is expected to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle, sources told ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

Hendricks was stretchered off during Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks after sustaining the injury. He tripped over his feet at the 6:01 mark of the third quarter.

"That's hard to stomach," Jazz head coach Will Hardy told reporters postgame of Hendricks' injury, including MacMahon. "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."

Hendricks recorded two points, three rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 21 minutes. Utah went on to lose 110-102.

The Jazz drafted the UCF product with the ninth pick in 2023. He averaged 7.3 points and 4.8 rebounds in his first season with Utah.
