Bogut's NBA campaign comes to a unpleasant finish

Australian star Andrew Bogut's NBA season seems over and his globe championship prospects are in further doubt after he suffered a broken correct hand and dislocated elbow in a sickening fall. The Milwaukee Bucks exposed the extent of Bogut's injuries on Sunday following hospital tests after the 213cm-tall centre crashed to the floor when lightly bumped by Phoenix's Amare Stoudemire while hanging around the rim following dunking in Saturday's house win. Bogut, obviously in discomfort, was assisted up by team health-related personnel and left the court holding his arm. Andrew Bogut yells in discomfort following his horror injury.

Further testing and imaging at Aurora Sinai (Health-related Center) showed that Andrew sustained a dislocated correct elbow, a sprained correct wrist along with a broken right hand, said Milwaukee's common manager John Hammond. He was released from the hospital and no timetable continues to be determined for his return. National coach Brett Brown has spoken with Bogut because but said it was as well early to speculate on how the injuries could impact his availability for the globe championships in Turkey in August. Brown stated he watched Bogut's fall in shock and sympathised with the large man, who will miss the chance of being part of a Bucks' charge via the NBA playoffs. Really in the minute you're caught up in news and what it indicates for Andrew personally, Brown stated. When you really see the fall, I feel like I hit the floor with him. It is just so disappointing for him. It's a tragic twist for Bogut who was getting the very best season of his NBA career following missing 46 video games last season having a back injury. The Bucks are often 1 of the ugly ducklings with the NBA, but with Bogut averaging a career-high 15.9 points and ranked No.2 in the NBA in blocked shots, they appeared headed towards the playoffs with just six video games left within the regular season. Prior to Saturday's ugly fall Bogut only gave himself a 50 per cent chance of suiting up for Australia in Turkey as he was contemplating utilizing the NBA off-season like a time to let his back recuperate. Bucks management was also putting pressure on Bogut to miss the world championships. Stoudemire was booed by Bucks fans and called to get a foul after the incident, even though video replays showed he made only light contact. The fans didn't have a clean view of what occurred, Stoudemire stated. But I believe once they see the replay they'll see that there was nothing intentional. Bogut's teammate Jennings said he didn't think Stoudemire was attempting to hurt Bogut. Amare does not seem like that type of person, Jennings stated. I think it was just an accident.
