Andrew Bogut injury list 2005 - 2012
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:04 am
Here is what I think is a complete list of Andrew's injuries, courtesy of the Bogut news feed on rotoworld.com.
I did this out of curiosity regarding the "always injured" Bogut as I'd lost track of just how many injuries he'd really had or whether I was just succumbing to the constant jibes being thrown around here.
It turns out that he's had plenty of problems that I'm guessing would be well above the norm for NBA players. It shows that he's had chronic ankle issues for 5 years and this latest injury where he landed on someone's foot is the third time it's happened.
Secondly, his back has been a worry for 3 years. Also, migraines popped up more than I expected (5 times) but he's only lost 2 full regular season games to them (had to leave 2 others).
Anyway, it is what it is and I leave it to you to determine if he's brittle, injury-prone and/or just unlucky. It is worth noting that he was an absolute warrior for his first 153 straight games before the niggles started to set in.
2005-06 (82 games + 5 playoffs)
Nov - suffered a broken nose when he took an elbow from Allen Iverson. Had surgery but no games missed.
2006-07 (66 games)
Oct - suffered a contusion on his lower left leg during a team scrimmage. Typicals of Bucks medical staff, it became a lower left leg sprain which was expected to sideline him for six to eight weeks, but he was okay to go at start of season.
Mar - after not missing a game in his first two seasons, he twisted his left ankle when he landed on Kwame Brown's foot.
Eventually out for season (16 games).
He'd played 153 games straight before the injury.
2007-08 (78 games )
Aug - missed the three-game Olympic qualifying series against New Zealand due to unspecified injury (likely still the ankle).
Oct - missed 1 game with flu-like symptoms.
Oct - underwent an MRI on his injured left wrist. No games missed.
Feb - had been playing with a hip injury, according to head coach Larry Krystkowiak. "[Bogut] has never been one to complain," Krystowiak said, "but he's got a pretty nasty little hip injury that slowed him down."
Mar - missed two straight games with a deep left thigh bruise
Mar - had successful surgery to repair his broken nose (courtesy of Marvin Williams). Only missed 1 game.
2008-09 (36 games)
Aug - left Australia's game against the USA after what appeared to be an aggravation of his right ankle injury which he hurt prior to Olympics. Underwent an MRI to determine the severity. "I think it's a ligament," Bogut said while limping into the locker room. "I stepped on Kobe’s foot and rolled it."

Jan - now dealing with an upper back injury in addition to his illness. He missed practice after hurting his back while going for a rebound the previous game.
