If you have a weak stomach, turn away before the video buffers. I almost can’t watch this…
The Milwaukee Bucks have stated several times that they didn’t want the Australian center to play in this summer’s World Championships in Turkey, and I can’t imagine this will help them warm up to the idea. The Arizona Republic reports he was taken to a Phoenix immediately after this and the extent of the injury is not known. The X-ray machine is surely being put to work.
Tough for a guy who’s always struggled with nagging injuries, but not the sort of trauma that occurred tonight. The former #1 pick was coming around this year averaging 15.9 and 10.3 rebounds for a Bucks team that was on fire and heading for a playoff spot in the East. Amare was called for the flagrant on the play, but replays show that he barely touched him. Just a freak thing. Get better, Andy.
