Andrew Bogut‘s unfortunate injury just 58 seconds into his Cleveland Cavaliers’ career didn’t come without some quirks. The big man made his arrival at the Q shortly after his visa issue was sorted out just in time for pre-game shoot around.
When he went to pick up a jersey to throw on before mingling with the rest of the team, he was given No. 6.5, since LeBron James usually wears his former No. 6 to practice and walkthroughs. At first Bogut even thought it said ’65’.

Nothing killed the mood to his addition more than his fractured left tibia 58 seconds into his debut against the Miami Heat — an injury which could sideline him for the rest of the season.
@PhilHecken His next shootaround jersey will probably have ":58" on it https://t.co/XpUJ2uuNB2
