It's not pretty, but Andrew Bogut posted the above photo on Twitter yesterday as Milwaukee Bucks General Manager John Hammond announced the following information on another big injury for the Bucks center:
"Andrew returned to Milwaukee this morning to be evaluated by Bucks orthopaedic physician Michael Gordon, M.D., and to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam on his left ankle. The results of the MRI identified a left ankle fracture which will keep Bogut out indefinitely."
Bogut posted the photo with this message, "This is not how an ankle should look... Other side is even worse, but all taped up so cant get any happy snaps!"
The seventh-year center was injured in Tuesday's win at Houston when his left foot landed awkwardly on a Rockets player’s foot after attempting to block a shot in the first quarter. It was Bogut's 400th NBA game.
In 12 games this season, Bogut averaged 11.3 points, a team-high 8.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steal and a team-high 2.0 blocked shots (T-7th in NBA) in 30.0 minutes per contest.
Heal up soon, Bogues. I do like what I've seen the past few weeks with this team, and hopefully the Bucks can still battle for a playoff spot in your absence.
The Bucks host the Lakers Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Bradley Center.
