Anthony’s injury is considered serious as no replay was shown.
ESPN won’t show the replay of Champ Anthony’s injury. That tells you everything you need to know.

Anthony was carried off the field in a cast from his hip to his ankle. Needless to say, he will not be back for this game, and the rest of his season is now uncertain. The players, coaches and on-field staff knew immediately that it was bad.
