Isaiah Canaan's season may have just ended.
The 26-year-old Suns point guard suffered a gruesome leg injury in the first half of Phoenix's matchup with the Mavericks Wednesday.

Canaan was going up for a lay-up when he was fouled on his way to the basket. When he was fouled he was knocked off balance and came down on his leg awkwardly. The injury is reminiscent of what happened to Gordon Hayward opening night.
Here is video of the injury. We warn you, it is graphic.
