Aussie star and Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut will sit out the rest of the 2010-11 NBA season. The former No. 1 overall pick in 2005 is expected to miss the final four games of the season after the Bucks failed to make the playoffs.
The big man is scheduled to have arthroscopic elbow surgery in the coming days.
The operation aims to remove loose particles and scar tissue in his injured right elbow.
Bogut has played at a high level for most of the year despite his continued recovery efforts from the freak accident that caused him to miss the Bucks’ 2010 post-season.
The Milwaukee center has averaged a career high 11.6 rebounds a game this year and lead the league in blocks per game with 2.6.
If Bogut is fully healthy next year the Bucks will be in with a shot at making the post season for the second time in three years.

Same injury just more surgery. Hopefully itll be good for him. He's being playing hurt all season, sitting out some games with pain and his had free throw troubles all year.

Damn, another injury. Within these he would be an All-Star by now. 2nd in the league in rebounding though.
