Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut will
miss the next 8-to-12 weeks with a fractured left ankle.
Bucks general manager John Hammond made the announcement on Friday through the
club's Twitter account.
"This morning in Milwaukee, Andrew had additional diagnostic tests performed
on his left ankle. The results of the testing confirmed a left ankle fracture
which will keep Bogut sidelined for a period of 8-to-12 weeks."
Bogut left Wednesday's game with what was originally called a left ankle
sprain and did not return. He suffered the injury early on against the
Rockets while battling for a rebound.
The Aussie native is averaging 11.3 points per game and 8.3 rebounds in just
12 games so far this year. He missed four games earlier this season due to
personal reasons, and missed one other contest due to a concussion.
For his career, the former first-overall pick of the Bucks in 2005, Bogut
averages 12.7 points per game to go along with 9.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
