Just when we’re all getting over Gordon Hayward’s injury, live TV has served up another NBA injury that makes us question whether jumping – at any time, even away from the court – is worth the risk.

Canaan landed awkwardly on his left ankle with ESPN right there to capture it all in graphic HD.
Obviously, a warning to those who are slightly – well, at all, really – squeamish.

Canaan was carried off on a stretcher.
