PHOENIX The end of the Phoenix Suns’ five-game losing streak came with a sobering sidebar, a gruesome injury to backup point guard Isaiah Canaan.
Rookie forward Josh Jackson matched his career best with 21 points and T.J. Warren added 20 as the Suns handed the Dallas Mavericks their fifth loss in a row, 102-88 on Wednesday night.
But anyone who saw Canaan break his left ankle probably wished they hadn’t.
Driving to the basket in the final seconds of the first quarter, Canaan was fouled by Wesley Matthews and landed awkwardly. His left foot twisted almost 180 degrees in the wrong direction.
