Andrew Bogut fractures tibia, likely out for the season

Andrew Bogut made his debut for the Cavaliers on Monday night, and there is a high probability he has played his last game in a Cavalier uniform.

Just 58 seconds after Bogut came off the bench, his shin collided with the knee of the Miami Heat’s Okaro White. He was helped off the floor, and X-rays later revealed that he has a fractured tibia. Based on the typical recovery timeline for this type of injury, the earliest Bogut would be available is by the NBA Finals, but the chances are that he won’t even be ready to play by that time.
