  11/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hendricks underwent surgery on his broken right leg and dislocated ankle Wednesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Hendricks' operation was done at the University of Utah's Orthopedic Center, and it appears to have gone smoothly. The 20-year-old is a candidate to return to action at some point during the 2025-26 season. Coach Will Hardy reinforced Hendricks' future with the organization last week, expressing that the injury "doesn't take away anything he's done to this point. He's developed as a player and as a young man...this is far from over for him."

  Hendricks will undergo surgery to repair the fractured right fibula and dislocated ankle on his right leg, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. Hendricks' surgery date will be determined within the next 24-to-48 hours, and this procedure will sideline him for the remainder of the season. The second-year forward started Utah's first three games and led the team in steals per game (1.7), but he will spend the rest of the season in recovery.

  Hendricks finished with 13 points (4-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a block across 26 minutes in Saturday's 126-120 preseason loss to the Spurs. Hendricks had a rough showing from the field, but he still ended as one of three Jazz starters who scored in double digits in this loss Saturday. Hendricks is penciled in to start the season as Utah's starting power forward after a 2023-24 rookie year in which he averaged 7.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per contest across 40 regular-season appearances.

  Hendricks (personal) will be a full participant in training camp, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Hendricks missed Utah's final Summer League game to tend to a personal matter, so his status for camp wasn't in any real doubt. Coach Will Hardy spoke highly of Hendricks during Media Day, and noted that the forward put on 21 pounds during the offseason.

  Hendricks recorded 20 points (9-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, a steal and a block across 29 minutes of Wednesday's 86-76 win over the Raptors in Summer League. Hendricks paced the Jazz in points and rebounds Wednesday, falling just one rebound shy of a double-double. The second-year forward had combined to score 11 points in his first two Summer League games in Las Vegas, so Wednesday's outburst was a much-needed bounce-back game. Hendricks started in 23 of his 40 appearances as a rookie and is slated to open the season as Utah's starting power forward.
