The Bucks just can't seem to shake the injury bug.

After having last season sabotaged by prolonged injuries to stars Michael Redd and Andrew Bogut, the Bucks are hurting again.

Redd has been sidelined for nearly three weeks after suffering a strained patella tendon to his left knee, and now Bogut will be sidelined for about four weeks after hurting his left leg late in Wednesday night's game against the Nets.

Bogut suffered a lower left leg sprain and contusion. The injury is similar to the one he had two years ago.

Bogut had been playing extremely well. He is averaging 16.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.4 blocked shots this season.

"It's disappointing; Andrew was playing at a very high level," Bucks general manager John Hammond said.
