Bogut To Miss 2 To 4 Weeks

Milwaukee Bucks General Manager John Hammond announced today that Andrew Bogut (7-0, 260) suffered a lower left leg strain and contusion in Wednesday’s 99-85 win against New Jersey that is expected to sideline the fifth-year center for two-to-four weeks. Bogut scored team-highs of 21 points and 11 rebounds in the win and left the game late in the fourth period and did not return to action.

Bogut, 24, was examined by Bucks orthopedic physician Dr. Michael Gordon, M.D., and underwent an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) exam this morning, which revealed the injury.

Bucks Nearly Didn't End Up With Jennings

Brandon Jennings' camp expected the rookie point guard sensation to be drafted seventh overall by the Golden State Warriors, but they instead went with Stephen Curry after Minnesota surprisingly took two point guards.

Milwaukee had also discussed trading the 10th overall pick to Memphis in a deal for Mike Conley, as well as with Washington for the fifth overall selection.

The Bucks, of course, ultimately held onto the 10th overall pick and selected Jennings.

Alexander Wants Trade Out Of Milwaukee

Since the Bucks declined Joe Alexander's option for the 2010-11 season, he would welcome a trade out of Milwaukee.

"They made it pretty clear that they don't see me having a future here,'' said Alexander, the No. 8 pick in the 2008 draft. "So I'm assuming a trade would definitely be one of the options.''

Alexander then was asked if he would welcome a trade.

"I mean, yeah," he said. "If they don't want me, if they don't see a future with me here, that really is the only other option."

John Hammon said "absolutely" there's a chance he could be re-signed for next season.

"We're hoping that once he becomes healthy he can help our team," Hammond said of this season. "His job is to help us win games. And we hope he is capable of doing that."
