Andrew Bogut Injury: Milwaukee Bucks Dealt Huge Blow, Likely Done for the Season

It was just two seasons ago that the Milwaukee Bucks were on a roll late in the season when they were dealt a big blow when Andrew Bogut was lost for the season with a dislocated right elbow.

Well, the Bucks haven't exactly been on a roll since then, but they were dealt that same blow today as they found out that have lost Bogut for 8-12 weeks with a fractured left ankle.

It's bad timing for the Bucks, as they have been starting to play better as of late, winning three of their past four games to improve to 7-10 on the season.

The big thing is that all three wins have come on the road against the likes of New York, Miami and Houston. Before that, the Bucks were winless on the road this season.

In 12 games this season, Bogut averaged 11.3 points, a team-high 8.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, one steal and a team-high 2.0 blocked shots in 30 minutes per game.

In addition to missing the end of the 2009-10 season with the dislocated right elbow, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft also missed 43 games with an injured lower back in the 2008-09 season.

The injury also is a blow for Milwaukee, as point guard Brandon Jennings is really taking his game to another level and they need Bogut in the middle to make a run at the playoffs.

In his absence, rookie Jon Leuer and Jon Brockman will have to assume major minutes.
