November 24, 2005
MILWAUKEE (TICKER) -- Center Andrew Bogut's broken nose will force him to wear an extra piece of equipment but is not expected to cost him any time on the court.
Bogut is listed as day-to-day after undergoing surgery on his nose Thursday, one day after having it broken in the third quarter of a 108-97 victory over Philadelphia.
The 21-year-old Bogut, whose surgery was performed by Dr. Thomas Kinney at the Aurora Sinai Medical Center, will be required to wear a protective face shield for at least six weeks.

The first overall pick of last June's draft, the 7-foot Bogut returned in the fourth quarter wearing a protective shield and finished with nine points.
The consensus National Player of the Year after averaging 20.4 points and 12.2 rebounds as a sophomore at Utah in 2004-05, Bogut has averaged 7.7 points and 8.2 rebounds in his first 10 games in the NBA.
