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

[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.

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

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.

Godamnit! 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.

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

But we'll see

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

Could be a dislocated elbow, for sure.

Def looks like some ulnar-humerous separation.



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.

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.

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.

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.
