Worst case scenario confirmed: Bogut done for season

Just a few hours after Andrew Bogut's nasty fall comes word from Charles Gardner that Bogut's injuries are more extensive than the dislocated elbow initially reported by Gery Woelfel.

A source said early Sunday that Bogut suffered a dislocated right elbow, sprained wrist and broken right hand and would likely undergo surgery.

Damn.  I'll be honest, I was hoping I could go to bed on Saturday night with at least some hope of Bogut maybe coming back in a couple weeks.  But like everyone else who saw Bogut's fall against the Suns, my initial fears were eventually confirmed.  We can now only hope that there's no serious structural damage that might impact Bogut's health in the longer term.

It's of course a crushing blow for the Bucks, who had the look of a dangerous first round opponent up until Saturday night.  While the Bucks still have a five game lead over the 9th place Bulls and trail Miami by just a half game for the fifth seed, it's difficult to imagine them having a chance of upsetting a top-four seed without their most influential player. For now the focus becomes scraping out a few more wins in an effort to avoid the 7th/8th seeds.

Needless to say, we wish Drew the best of luck and a speedy recovery.

And this is very disappointing news. I’ve been following the Bucks on and off all year, and was excited to see what they could do in the playoffs, but with Bogut out, its unlikely they’ll advance past the first round (although I’d never bet against a Skiles led team). My condolences to you guys, but just think about how good you guys can be next year with another year of growth for Jennings, Illyasova, and Mbah ah Moute, a healthy Bogut returning, John Salmons for the year, and perhaps even a healthy Michael Redd. Things are on the up for this Bucks franchise, even taking into account this injury (as long as it doesn’t have career ramifications, which it shouldn’t).

Best of luck to you guys.

Truly, I hope that Andrew Bogut will make a full recovery. Gruesome injury, terrible, and you guys are playing so well, you have such good chemistry…

Best wishes, Andrew, and to you Bucks fans.

Bogut's Injury

This is about the worst thing that could have happened to the Bucks playoff hopes.
That’s why to win a Championship at any level in any sport you have to be Lucky as well as good.
Lucky to stay away from injuries and having your best able to play.
Good Luck To Our Buck’s Friends from Cavs Fans.
Best Wishes to Andrew for a Speedy and Full Recovery.

there is no silver lining to any of this.......

but Ive seen some really bad injuries in Australian Rules Football, a couple of compound fractures and really bad broken legs, where when you see it happen you just cringe and lose your lunch, and straight away you know oh phark thats really bad……….and it was the same with Bogut, the one thing is with that elbow dislocation im not sure about the mechanics of basketball shooting and touch etc etc but I imagine whilst it aint a walk in the park in terms of recovery its a damn near sight better than a major break in the leg or a knee injury where once you lose that explosiveness and agility in the legs, it takes maybe a couple of years to get back to anywhere where you were before and in many cases you dont reach those heights again………

anyway all our thoughts our with Drew

when i saw that…i cringed. That was very gruesome. I wish you all the best Andrew…good luck

The fact that he has multiple injuries from his elbow to his wrist to his hand is incredibly bad luck. All you can hope for now is his rehab goes well and he’s 100% for game 1 of next season.
