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.

Canaan had to be taken off the court on a stretcher. The Suns reported he is out with a left ankle fracture. 

There has been no timetable announced for his return.
