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.
Bucks coach Scott Skiles rarely gives glowing compliments. Even he's having a tough time containing his excitement for rookie Brandon Jennings. "You'd be hard pressed to find a rookie's first 10 games better than this," Skiles said. "Maybe somebody has, but he's had as good a 10-game start as anybody I've been aware of in my 20-plus years in the league."...
Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut will be out for two to four weeks after the former No. 1 pick was kicked in the left leg in a recent win. Bogut said on Friday he had hoped he just had a charlie horse bruise after he left a 99-85 victory over New Jersey on Wednesday. Bogut stayed in the game for several minutes after he was kicked, but the pain grew worse and an exam on Thursday revealed the...
Brandon Jennings knew it was a gamble. So far, all the odds have been in the rookie's favor. Jennings made a swipe and slam past two stunned Nets during a 15-0 run to start the second half, Andrew Bogut and Carlos Delfino each scored 21 points, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat winless New Jersey 99-85 on Wednesday night.
Dirk Nowitzki thought his shot was perfect when it left his hand. He'll definitely take the lucky overtime bounce. Nowitzki hit a fallaway 18-footer with a hand in his face as time expired to give the Dallas Mavericks a 115-113 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. "I thought it was going straight in.
Brandon Jennings was shut out in the first quarter. Then he went to work and wiped out a record held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Jennings scored 55 points, breaking Abdul-Jabbar's franchise rookie record, to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a come-from-behind 129-125 victory Saturday over the Golden State Warriors.
Brandon Jennings never expected to start his NBA career this way. The rookie point guard scored 14 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter, and Andrew Bogut added 23 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 108-102 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night. "I came in here, wanted to learn and take (it) step-by-step," Jennings said.
When a rookie praises a veteran, it might be self-serving. Brandon Jennings' description of Andrew Bogut was right on. Bogut scored a season-high 22 points and had eight rebounds to help the Milwaukee Bucks beat the New York Knicks 102-87 on Saturday night. "Bogut was on fire," said Jennings, drafted 10th overall in June.
The recovering big men bumped and banged around the basket all night, and a beat-up Andrew Bogut got the better of Al Jefferson. Bogut gave the defense-first Bucks plenty of muscle at both ends with 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Milwaukee used a third-quarter surge to top the worn-down Jefferson and the Minnesota Timberwolves 87-72 on Friday.
Luol Deng and the Chicago Bulls envisioned nights like this. If he keeps it up, he just might become a star they thought he would be. Limited by injuries in recent seasons, Deng scored 24 points while grabbing a career-high 20 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls rallied from 18 down to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 83-81 on Tuesday night.
