Bad news coming out of the Phoenix Suns v Milwaukee Bucks game tonight, as Andrew Bogut has gone down with what sounds like a nasty injury. According to the AP report:
MILWAUKEE (AP) -Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut has been helped off the court after falling hard to the floor and awkwardly twisting his right elbow Saturday night against the Phoenix Suns.
With the Bucks leading in the second quarter, Bogut took a long outlet pass in for a fast break slam dunk. He hung on the rim afterward, was touched in the back by the Suns’ Amare Stoudemire and crashed to the court. He appeared to wrench his elbow and hit his head hard on the court. A flagrant foul was called on Stoudemire, but television replays showed what appeared to be relatively light contact with Bogut.
Bogut, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft, is having a standout season for the resurgent Bucks, averaging a team-high 15.9 points and 10.3 rebounds.
This is terrible news, as Bogut has been playing amazingly and so have the Bucks. He is second in the league in blocks and is putting up a fine double-double. This could severely damage the Bucks’ hopes in the playoffs of upsetting someone, should Bogey be out for an extended period. Fingers crossed, but as you can see from this lo-fi video, it doesn’t look promising. We’re thinking of you big fella.
