Andrew Bogut dunked, fell, injured arm in very bad way

[Force]

Andrew Bogut just had a VERY bad-looking right arm injury.

He was dunking, fell, and landed on it. Things don't look good.

Official info about the injury will be here: http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=5668

[chazzy]

Damnit :rant

[StroShow4]

Was dunking the ball, got shoved from behind and took a terrible fall. Appears to be a ton of pain, hurt his arm.

[bisk]

:ohwell:

WARNING: THIS IS A GROSS INJURY. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THIS UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO

[airchibundo507]

f*cking suns. bogie is on my fantasy team.

[OmniStrife]

Fell off a dunk on his hand snapped his elbow!

[nbastatus]

Was it really bad? If he requires surgery, then the Bucks are in trouble.

[DouXer4ouR]

That looked really bad...feel for the Bucks. Wow that was gross.

[bisk]

Just uploading a quick temp. gif.

[Abd El-Krim]

Tuning in now, hoping for a replay after the commercial.

[OmniStrife]

Holy shit 3 threads simultaneously...

He's arm got bent the other way... I almost puked...

Seeing the gif...
Amar'e did not touch him.

[bisk]

Look how he lands on his right arm...:banghead:

[bagelred]

F-ck man. The path for the Cavs just keeps getting easier and easier.

[Qwyjibo]

just cant buy a break

Well they may just have, literally.

Ehh... EHHHH?!?!!

:ohwell:

[Abd El-Krim]

Holy shit 3 threads simultaneously...

He's arm got bent the other way... I almost puked...

Yeah Buck fans look like they have broken elbows too.

[DouXer4ouR]

I can't get that image out of my head. Gives me the chills.

[chazzy]

OH GOD

Holy shit. That's horrible

[Abd El-Krim]

Oh damn, hopefully it's just the angle but that's Shaun Livingston shit.

[Undisputed]

Whhhooooaaaaa! That's horrible right there. Damn, sorry to see that Bucks fans.

[bagelred]

Should I watch it? I hate sh-t like that.

[Knicks101]

That was awful, I feel bad for this guy.

[Undisputed]

Should I watch it? I hate sh-t like that.
...If you hate shit like that, don't watch. It's vicious.

[RaininThrees]

YIKES.

That ain't pretty.

[Cyclone112]

Wow that's worse then what I first thought. His elbow gets bent the wrong way with all of his own weight on just the elbow.

[RaininThrees]

Well they may just have, literally.

Ehh... EHHHH?!?!!

:ohwell:

He's here all week.

Try the veal.

[liquidrage]

Ugly. Real ugly.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

F-ck man. The path for the Cavs just keeps getting easier and easier.
good...let bron get the chip so he can pack his bags for new york.

[Parade]

Was dunking the ball, got shoved from behind and took a terrible fall. Appears to be a ton of pain, hurt his arm.



http://i41.tinypic.com/30vof0i.gif

Where's the "shove" guy?

[catch24]

Wow, that was real tough to watch. F*cking a man, he was playing so well.

[west]

That was awful, I feel bad for this guy.
Who is that chick in your avatar, ****ing perfect tits.:eek:

I feel sorry for the Bucks fans.....:ohwell: :cry:

[zabuza666]

[RaininThrees]

Man, thats a nasty break. Reminds me of Garbajosa's ankle injury.

[WorldWarriors]

That was bad. Almost as bad as Shaun Livingston's.

[highwhey]

Was dunking the ball, got shoved from behind and took a terrible fall. Appears to be a ton of pain, hurt his arm.
http://i41.tinypic.com/30vof0i.gif
yeah, that was a shove. definitely.

[Cyclone112]

http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/fatality.jpg

Seriously? Douchebag.

[brantonli]

That's a bad injury, hope he gets better.

although when I was watching the GIF when it was still loading, I thought 'Hey, why doesn't Stoudemire try and catch bogut in mid-air?'

[nbastatus]

Suns got a flagrant foul for Bogut injured himself. :lol

[DuMa]

wow looks like a crash test dummy.

[J-Futuristic]

I hope the Hawks get the Bucks in the 1st round :pimp: :pimp:

[zabuza666]

Seriously? Douchebag.

baw more homo it's just an injury

[chazzy]

Hopefully it's just the elbow.. didn't Evan Turner crack some vertebrae the same way?

[Reef]

http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/7424/wweshocked.gif

Brutal. The way his arm just flopped around was nasty.

[D-Rose]

My goodness, hopefully he'll be fine long term

[GatorKid117]

Ugh, I hate to see that. If I were a Bucks fan I would be devastated. I think they had a real good chance to get to the 2nd round.

:cry: Get well soon Bogut!

[Knoe Itawl]

Man, poor guy. That's terrible. Hopefully he makes full recovery. Damn.

[SleepyCorpse]

holy crap, this reminds me of what barkley said, don't try to break your fall with your hands / arms.

[airchibundo507]

holy crap, this reminds me of what barkley said, don't try to break your fall with your hands / arms.

It was either his arm or his head. He used his arm to prevent getting a concussion.

[tontoz]

I haven't seen it and don't want to. This really sucks for him, the Bucks and their fans. Hopefully he can make a full recovery.

[vinsane01]

Godamnit! :mad: I was rooting for the bucks to win in the east. I really think they have it in them to make upsets but now its all over. Hope bogut can return next season if not return at all. But heck surgeons nowadays are awesome, so im positive.

[insidehoops]

A Milwaukee-area reporter suggested that he actually didn't break anything.

But we'll see

[GatorKid117]

:lol if that is true than Bogut is freakin' Jesus. He had to have at least some ligament/tendon damage though. Something got messed up.

[RaininThrees]

But we'll see

Could be a dislocated elbow, for sure.

Def looks like some ulnar-humerous separation.

http://www.injuryupdate.com.au/images/scans/dislocatedelbow.JPG

Many times, you'll get a break in the bottom half of the "claw" part of the ulna which can require surgery... if not, it can be "popped" back in, like a shoulder... recovery is typically 4-6 weeks.

Here's to hoping, for Bogut's sake.

[MeLO MvP 15]

damn that was like the shaun livingston injury, but his arm

[BigTicket]

I think we can safely say that he's out for the rest of the season, and the playoffs. ****ing sucks.

Just hope he's able to make a full recovery, and return next year stronger than ever.

[u83]

holy crap, this reminds me of what barkley said, don't try to break your fall with your hands / arms.

I always tell people this, but it's unrelated to Bogut's fall. Bogut's fall was catastrophic. The reason you shouldn't break your fall with your hands/arms is because even really, really simple falls can break your arm near the wrist very easily. There are a number of injuries caused by what is called FOOSH -- fall onto outstretch hand -- ranging from broken bones to dislocated fingers and damage to thumb ligaments.

I broke my arm playing baseball. I was trying to do a kind of spin move around the 3rd baseman, just as sort of a joke since I was totally out, but lost balance when he tagged me. I went down real slow, controlled, and casual, almost like nothing happened, but put my arm down first and it broke. Falling onto your hands causes random freak accidents sometimes.

That's why last year when Delonte West broke his wrist, I knew immediately, because I saw him try to catch himself with it. If a simple slow fall can break it, a huge fall with all your weight will almost always break it or cause some other injury.

[Meticode]

Was dunking the ball, got shoved from behind and took a terrible fall. Appears to be a ton of pain, hurt his arm.

GIF says otherwise.

[Doranku]

Yeah, he definitely didn't get pushed. You can see his hands just slipped from the rim and his momentum carried his legs forward.

Such a sad thing to see, the Bucks have been outstanding since the ASB and now their season is virtually over before they even got a crack at seeing the Playoffs.

[StroShow4]

GIF says otherwise.

They called a flagrant foul on Amare and the commentators kept saying he got pushed. I typed that before I got to see the replay 500 times.

[Bigsmoke]

The Bucks are looking to win the game anyway.

[Meticode]

They called a flagrant foul on Amare and the commentators kept saying he got pushed. I typed that before I got to see the replay 500 times.
No excuse. You don't believe some ****ing commentator, they're dumb-asses half the time and don't know what they hell they're seeing.

[The_Yearning]

I just can't understand how players injure themselves off their own dunk.

[Meticode]

I just can't understand how players injure themselves off their own dunk.

They lose their grip off the rim and flip. Very easy if you're a 260 pounder going full speed.

[HisAirness3]

Now everybody wants to face the Bucks in the playoffs.

[Cyclone112]

I just can't understand how players injure themselves off their own dunk.

I broke 1 arm and sprained the other doing this exact same thing. Combination of sweaty hands and running fast for me.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

No excuse. You don't believe some ****ing commentator, they're dumb-asses half the time and don't know what they hell they're seeing.

[strifed169]

looks like he dislocated his elbow, man that looks painful, don't know where the Bucks go from here, they're screwed

[ILLsmak]

He pushed him. But it's not like it was dirty. He just pushed him in the back at the wrong moment.

But still, that's why you should never push people in the back on breaks. If someone is running full speed a small push can really floor them. I learned this as a child playing tag... mahaha.

Did you watch the replay? If a hand on the back is the same as a push then I'm f*cking retarded.

Wrong place wrong time for Bogut. I feel bad for him, guy was playing well.

Sorry to hear that, bro, but do you think he was lovingly caressing his back as he dunked? Notice his arm went forward, too? Maybe he was trying to keep his hand on Bogut's beautiful back as long as he could.

:rolleyes: that was more of a tap on the back then a "push"

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

it hurts like hell...i broke my left humerus bone(same bone) twice....shit my left hand could do a whole circle at that time....

[w00terz]

The first time I saw the .gif I was like "meh, his back is going to be sore tomorrow." Then I actually watched the clip and saw what happened to his arm. Horrific.

And Amare hardly even touched him. That shouldn't have even been a foul on him. Bogut thought he was LeBron or something and totally fell on his own. The flagrant will be rescinded.

[Tito Beasley]

R.I.P Andrew Bogut

[John Smith]

Bucks are gonna get owned by the BULLS on Tuesday.

They have no depth, especially at Center.

GO BULLS!

[Jasper]

Looked at it a few times , besides the news coverage.

I think it was a dislocation , and not a break.

But the concern would be ligaments etc ...

And even if it was not a break , he is out for the season.

-------------
This was his right arm , and it's his shooting hand ..
This could be issues next year.
Ligaments once injuried , strain on muscles and function change.
His rehab will require weight training to strengthen muscle to allow the ligamnets and flexibility to be normal.
** He might of been better off breaking a wrist then this injury.

I hope for the best , because he was the leader of our team , and he was having his best season of his career.

------------Amare's push was not an impact to this , but I played some football and jumped in the air one time , catching a pass ,guy came from behind and it was a light touch , next thing I knew I flipped in mid-air.
Sometimes it doesn't take much , and I am sure Amare in no way was trying to do something dirty.

Maybe Amare will feel so bad , he'll drop his contract , and this summer join the Bucks :D

[04mzwach]

Bogut was finally on track too. Things suck for Bogut.

[John Smith]

Ugh, I hate to see that. If I were a Bucks fan I would be devastated. I think they had a real good chance to get to the 2nd round.

:cry: Get well soon Bogut!

They never had a "real good chance" to get to the 2nd round. Orlando or Atlanta would have dominated them.

[magnax1]

Looked waaaaaay worse in real time then it did in the slowmo GIF. Pretty much kills any hopes for a first round upset for the Milwaukee Knickerbuckers.

[John Smith]

Yeah, he definitely didn't get pushed. You can see his hands just slipped from the rim and his momentum carried his legs forward.

Such a sad thing to see, the Bucks have been outstanding since the ASB and now their season is virtually over before they even got a crack at seeing the Playoffs.

I hope that the Milwaukee Bucks finish in 7th place, seems reasonable, so they can face the Olrando Magic and be swept real easily. That way, the Magic can rest up.

[John Smith]

They lose their grip off the rim and flip. Very easy if you're a 260 pounder going full speed.

Hit the weight room bogut. You need to work on those biceps.

[ZenMaster]

Damn that sucks for Bogut, was finally start playing to his potential.

Young guns BJennings and Ilyasova to step up.

[Bodhi]

Really sucks. Especially since Bogut and the Bucks were having such a great season

[dagreatesteva25]

nastiest looking injury I've ever seen besides the Shaun Livingston one

Watching how he landed was just nauseating.

[bomber]

Atleast he finished the play strong :cheers:

[No.45]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

no fantasy title for me this year...gah.

it's a dislocation for sure. probably tore every ligament holding his humerus to his radius and ulna. He won't be playing for a while....

[shadow]

damn that's nasty. Looked like he was trying to hand on the rim but slipped.
Just heard on sports center that Amare got called for a flagrant? Seriously?

[John Smith]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

If your fantasy team relies on Andrew frickin' Bogut, then you simply did not draft right.

[NotYetGreat]

Oh my gosh... That was the sickest injury I've seen since Shaun Livingston's.

[IamSofaKing]

Joe Theismann anyone? :violin:

[bdreason]

Feel sorry for the Bucks fans... and Bogut of course.

Hopefully it isn't career threatening... that fall was nasty.

Are you kidding me its amare they will probably wait until the san antonio game bump it up to a flagrant 2 an suspend him for that game.

[Cyclone112]

Joe Theismann anyone? :violin:

I instantly thought of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ8yOie0BY8 when I saw Bogut's elbow bend like that.

[Swaggin916]

Yea he is done for the season for sure... he may have to play left handed from now on. He will get good experience cus he will be doing everything with his left for a while.

[ZOMG]

The flagrant they gave Amare was very much deserved. You do NOT push a player from the back even a little bit in a situation like that. It doesn't take much to increase their momentum to dangerous levels.

Anyone who's ever played basketball knows how a small bump from the back can send you flying out of bounds when you're airborne, going for a rebound. This was very similar.

Clearly a dirty frustration foul by Amare. Got beat downcourt by the relatively slow Bogut.

wtf are you talking about, how about you watch the actual video. Amare barely touches him.

[mrpuente]

i do not like amare but that was no where near being close to his fault.

bogut's momentum got away from him and his hands slipped off the rim. It would have happened either way if amare had touched him or not.

[Bosnian Sajo]

OWWWWWWWCH...damn I cringed watching that gif.

Good luck Bogut, this was definitely your breakout season, hopefully you make a full recovery for next season. Reminds me of how bad the Greg Oden injury earlier this year was.

[Walker]

This. Anyone who thinks it was in any way STATs fault is a tard.
Deffinately a dislocation not a break. 6-8 month recovery given there's no doubt ligament damage.

[zizozain]

sorry for the Bucks fans... and Bogut of course ..
let's learn from this .. and f*uck stern and ESPN

unnecessary
dunks are bad for your health

[brantonli]

Amare had barely anything to do with Bogut's injury. The latter's hands just slipped from the rim and meant that he fell very awkardly onto the side of his body. But man oh man, that arm...

[Horde of Temujin]

What a shame, it pains me to see players succumb to such horrendous injuries. I havent watched the video and i dont want to, but ive gathered enough from the descriptions

[PhiSlamaJama]

Damn, that sucks. Especially so cause I'm an Aussie and was hoping he'd be able to build on a successful season with the Bucks for us in the World Championships.

[Walker]

-Bucks General Manager John Hammond said Bogut "sustained a dislocated right elbow, a sprained right wrist and a broken right hand. He was released from the hospital and no timetable has been determined for his return."-
http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/89862567.html

Ouch.

[monkeypox]

Jesus Christ that looked bad. I saw the replay in a bar tonight and it looked like maybe a sprain from that far away. Seeing the gif... wow. Reading that he "only had a dislocation, sprain and broken hand is actually a relief after seeing his arm flop around like that. Much props to the guy for being able to walk off the court after that kind of injury, I hope he has a speedy recovery.

[coin24]

Ouch.. I wish him all the best and a speedy recovery, being an aussie i loved watching him play this year. Saw a lot of bucks games and he was playing awesome...

It sucks that he will miss the playoffs, couldnt care less about world championships. Australian bball is a joke and the highest profile player ie Bogut cops the slack when we dont win shit...
Not to mention the team is full of players 10 years past there "primes", in which they still stunk, and the coaches are idiots...

[brantonli]

I am slightly surprised that his shoulder wasn't injured, considering it did a 180 fling around the joint. But damn, 3 injuries on one arm, and your shooting arm?

[PistolPete]

Joe Theismann anyone? :violin:

No that was more horrific. That was a clean break and was his last snap of his NFL career. Bogut will be back.

[godofgods]

Damn. Hope he recovers soon.

[scott0326]

Ouch,I have a feeling Bucks will get dominated in playoffs now.

[brandonislegend]

This freaking sucks, the bucks were solid too I wanted to watch them in the playoffs god damnit.

[Cosmonaut]

that gif really shows how bad that looks, they showed it on tv here in Australia except from a "nicer" angle.

I've seen some horrific injuries, but this one probably beats the Nathan Brown broken leg injury in the AFL here.
I am sure the Aussies on this board have seen footage of that.

I feel sorry for the guy, he was having a good season, Bucks were doing well and looked to be a team that could create some excitement in the first round.

I hope for a speedy recovery, but what I hope most is that he can come back 100%, cause it won't be easy to come back from this injury.

I think the Nathan Brown injury was a lot worse to be honest...Broken leg is a lot worse as well. There is a chance Bogut could make it back in time for the playoffs, less than likely but don't rule it out..Broken hand is only a 4-6 week injury and the broken hand is probably the worst part of the injury.

[zebraheat]

My poor tigers lost again tonight. So disappointed about Boguts injury. I hope he has a speedy and smooth recovery. The Nathan Brown injury was much worse IMO. His leg was hanging at a right angle. Look it up on YouTube, horrific, never the same player again. Hopefully bucks can pull off a couple of victories In the po and bogut gets all NBA and all d recognition.

[strifed169]

The good news is Bogut didn't break any bones, turns out his suffered a slight dislocated elbow, hope for a speedy recovery Bogut.

http://www.monkeydollars.net/2010/04/andrew-bogut-injury-video-2010.html

[zebraheat]

Just saw the action in slowmo, Amare really is a dumb-ass...; nnevermind.

All it takes is a slight contact/push in the air to knock someone off balance, and then just stands there like a goose. I don't think he will receive any standing ovations in the Bradley Center anytime soon.

[Walker]

Where ever that report came from it's wrong. Bucks offical press release says dislocated elbow, sprained wrist and broken hand.
http://www.nba.com/bucks/release/bogut_injury_update_100403.html

[Andrei89]

How many times has he been injured since drafted?

[Crystallas]

Well, that replay will stick around for a long time.
Not quite at bad as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEVaRrWL4Hg , but it's not for the weak hearted.

I'm with the group that says that a player should not be touched in any mannor that can give them uncontrolable momentum while in the air. That should be a flagrant foul, even if it was just a nudge. It wasn't on purpose, and I don't hate on Amare for it. The flagrant call was right, but it's a shame that the refs don't call games right to begin with, otherwise players habits would be different, and momentum-driven fall-injuries would be minimized.
He shouldn't be suspended with a F2, as far as Amare goes, this is done and over with for him, the flagrant will not be retracted.

Good luck to AB. So far it sounds like he has minimal damage for such a hyperextention dislocation.

[insidehoops]

Official update from Bucks:

[Derka]

What a crappy break for the Bucks. Hope he gets better soon and the Bucks still make some noise in the playoffs.

[HylianNightmare]

Hope the magic get the bucks in the first round

[bagelred]

Joe Theismann anyone? :violin:

I get shudders thinking about Theismann injury. It was so bad, Lawrence Taylor, the guy who tackled him, IMMEDIATELY was calling for Redskins trainers to get out there. You know its bad when the opposing team is that concerned for you.

[dough]

# I want 2 wish Andrew Bogut a speedy recovery.You are 1of the best young players N the NBA, tonights event was unfortunate. I'm praying 4 U. about 5 hours ago via Echofon

Amare's Twitter

[Rake2204]

I'll also throw my hat in the ring along with ZOMG and Crystallas. When an offensive player rises off of one foot like Bogut did here, especially when a two hand dunk attempt is imminent, any sort of forward thrusting contact from behind (no matter how slight) instantly raises the stakes and turns a difficult play into a potentially dangerous one.

Last night I only had the gif to work off of and in that baseline angle, it really didn't appear that Stoudemire made any contact. However, having now seen the broadcast angle, it's quite apparent that Amar'e is likely responsible for Bogut's fall in my opinion. I don't think he was trying to injure Andrew and it looks like he may have just put a hand on him as an afterthought, but I do believe that's why Bogut fell.

There's a huge difference in completing a two hand, off one foot dunk at a speed you're accustomed to vs. coming in quicker and out of control. I really don't want to be this guy, but I think people who can dunk are probably the ones that can truly relate to and understand the feeling of being nudged like that on a takeoff like Boguts'. I'll throw my hat into the ring and admit that I was nudged in a similar manner on a one-foot, two-hand attempt and that extra force flipped me over a defender and ruptured a tendon in my hand.

As a whole, I'm just not that big a fan of full-speed, one-foot, two-hand takeoffs. If I'm pulling one of these off, I need to make sure there's no defenders in the vicinity. Even then, it's often not enough:

Vladimir Radmonovic Flip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP7n41CURKc

Wyoming Freshman Adam Waddell Flip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kspB8upM8rc&feature=related

Also, without a clip, I remember New Orleans Hornet forward Jackson Vroman breaking his wrist on a similar dunk attempt in the mid-2000's.

[AznTacoLover]

Damn,that fall was really digusting...man hope he's alright.

[Andrei89]

HE definetly got got shoved. but the way he fell on his arm like that it's his fault and nobody elses. He had plenty of time to removes his arm but he thought he keeps it down and he won't fall on his back.

Dumb mistake

Sad news

No ligament/tendon damage in the elbow is a major positive. His sprained wrist might be the injury that takes the longest to heal. But if this injury report is correct there doesn't seem to be any long term risk to his career.

Nasty... Same way I broke my finger 2 years ago...

F-ck man. The path for the Cavs just keeps getting easier and easier.

You're kidding, right? What were the chances the Bucks meet up against the Cavs anyway? They are the 6th seed right now, which means they would have had to get to the ECF just to meet up with the Cavs. That was not going to happen. However, some team will now get to beat up on the Bucks quite easily and be fresh for the Cavs, so most likely this makes it a tiny bit harder for the Cavs.

Real shame. It was finally worth it to have so many Bucks games broadcast here in Australia! Doesn't matter about the World Championships, we'd have gotten dicked anyway, but I hope Bogut can get back from this and continue elevating after his breakthrough season.

Btw, Nathan Brown's injury was way worse - I remember that was the only thing anyone was talking about for days after that injury.

That injury looked horrible.

Is it possible to completely recover 100% from that injury? Without lasting stiffness or something like that?
