Ugly Broken Ankle

Kid in a boys JV game last night dislocated and broke and his ankle. He was trying to block a shot on a fastbreak, fouled the shooter, and the shooter landed on him...it was ugly. Ankles aren't designed to bend sideways at a 45 degree angle (and stay there). 26 minute delay while he was tended to...an ambulance was called and they carted him off. Made for a looooong night, especially with the girls JV foul/violation-fest that followed.

I think that was the worst injury in a basketball game I've worked...other than a cheerleader dropped on her head during pre-game warmups a few years ago.
