Loud crack that shocked Andrew Bogut’s Cleveland teammates
After just 58 seconds on the court against the Miami Heat, the Australian centre fractured his left leg, an injury likely to end his season.
It was the loud crack that downed Andrew Bogut and shook his new Cleveland Cavaliers teammates.
After just 58 seconds on the court against the Miami Heat on Tuesday (AEDT), the Australian centre fractured his left leg, an injury likely to end his season.
“I heard it,” Cavaliers leader LeBron James said. “I heard a crack.”
Early in the second quarter, Bogut, in his first NBA game with the Cavaliers, ran out to the three-point line to guard open Heat forward Okaro White.
White moved to his right and Bogut’s left shin crashed into his knee. X-rays later revealed a fracture in Bogut’s left tibia.
The team never recovered and the Heat won 106-98.
“It sucks, man,” Melbourne-born Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving said. “He was so excited to be here.”
