Cleveland Cavaliers center Andrew Bogut lasted only a minute into his debut with his new team before a serious leg injury forced him from the game.

The first X-rays revealed a fractured left tibia, according to Joe Gabriele of Cavs.com, who added Bogut is heading to the hospital for further evaluation.

Bleacher Report provided video of the injury:

Unfortunate.

Two minutes into his debut with the Cavs, Andrew Bogut suffered a left leg injury.

He needed to be aided off the court.

The center officially registered one minute of action and finished with zero points and two fouls.

Bogut has been all over the place this season, starting the year with the Dallas Mavericks after being dealt away by the Golden State Warriors in the offseason. He was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers shortly before the trade deadline but was immediately waived.


While Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio reported the center had considered joining the Boston Celtics, former Cleveland guard Matthew Dellavedova pushed him to the Cavs. He was expected to provide some much-needed depth to the defending champions while adding valuable post defense.

Unfortunately, the latest issue creates question marks for a player who has dealt with plenty of injuries.

Bogut suffered a right knee bone bruise Dec. 5, and missed 11 games during the Mavs' uninspiring start to the season. He was also hampered by a right hamstring strain during portions of his first campaign in Dallas.

On the year, he is averaging a career-low 3.0 points to go with 8.3 rebounds per game.

If the injury problems remain, it could be the fourth season of Bogut's career in which he plays fewer than 40 games.

Seems to be a message out there about extra large bodies falling from the heights and landing on hardwood floors. I think we have a medical crisis in basketball.

Hate to hear about players getting hurt but at the same time I am glad that the Celtics did not go after him.
