Milwaukee Bucks guard O.J. Mayo suffered a broken right ankle on Thursday morning and will miss the rest of the 2015-16 NBA season, team GM John Hammond announced today.
This is not your usual basketball injury. According to the Bucks, Mayo accidentally tripped descending his stairs at home.
In 41 games (24 starts) this season, Mayo has averaged 7.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.17 steals in 26.6 minutes per contest.
Despite the off-season acquisition of Greg Monroe and a young, talented roster, the Bucks are just 27-38 this season. They are already without starting guard Michael Carter-Williams, who suffered a hip injury that requires season-ending surgery.
