Philadelphia 76ers forward Shavlik Randolph broke his left ankle at practice Thursday and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Randolph lost his balance near the end of practice and suffered the gruesome injury. Practice came to an immediate stop and Randolph, in his second-year out of Duke, was taken out on a stretcher and whisked to Roxborough Memorial Hospital.
"It's like a Joe Theismann thing," Sixers swingman Andre Igudola said, referring to the famous televised hit on the Redskins quarterback in 1985.
"I saw players just running around and screaming," coach Maurice Cheeks said. "It was something bad. I've never seen anything like it in my life."

Maurice Cheeks wants Samuel Dalembert to be a more physical, dominant interior defender.
Dalembert's response?
“I'm lost. I'm lost,” said Dalembert after yesterday's 76ers practice. “I'm confused what he means by physical play. Actually, I'm getting in foul trouble, so I want to know exactly what physical play means.
“If you mean offensively, my job is not really to be an offensive player. That's what I've been told. In terms of defense, yes, there's a lot of stuff. ... Usually, I don't get my fouls on my man — I get my fouls on helping out or when somebody's not rotating. That's tough.”

Allen Iverson elected not to show up to a mandatory meet-and-greet at a Philadelphia bowling alley on Wednesday. He will be fined by the club.
"We would have liked him to be there, but he wasn't, and that was his choice,'' Cheeks said. "I can't speculate on why he wasn't there, but he wasn't there.''
A source reported Iverson was upset when he left practice earlier in the day, less than an hour after the 11 a.m. start at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
After practice, Cheeks said Iverson had left early because he "was a little fatigued.''
