“Andrew returned to Milwaukee this morning to be evaluated by Bucks orthopaedic physician Michael Gordon, M.D., and to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam on his left ankle," Bucks General Manager John Hammond announced.
"The results of the MRI identified a left ankle fracture which will keep Bogut out indefinitely.”
The seventh-year center was injured in the win at Houston when his left foot landed awkwardly on a Rockets player’s foot after attempting to block a shot in the first period.
Playing in his 400th career NBA game, Bogut left the contest with three points, four rebounds and three blocked shots.
In 12 games this season, Bogut averaged 11.3 points, a team-high 8.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steal and a team-high 2.0 blocked shots (T-7th in NBA) in 30.0 minutes per contest.
The 27-year-old confirmed the injury news through his Twitter account.
"I will get back from this," he said.
"Injury was beyond my control. First step, walking again."
The news continues Bogut's tough run with injuries in recent years, most notably a horrific broken arm suffered in 2010 which continues to give him troubles.
Earlier this season Bogut sat out four games to allow him to fly back to Australia for a family emergency, with the Bucks losing all four matches he missed.
The setback will almost certainly hinder his Olympic preparations with the London Games starting in July.
