Orlando Magic rookie Devin Cannady had to be stretchered off after suffering a scary-looking right leg injury Sunday night.

Cannady was going up to contest an Edmond Sumner layup when he fell awkwardly on the floor. He could be heard screaming in pain and the injury was obvious serious, especially as teammate Mo Bamba rushed over and used his jersey to cover up Cannady’s right ankle.
