UPDATE:
The Cavs announced that Andrew Bogut suffered a fractured left tibia. With this development, the team will be hard-pressed to find a big man replacement for the oft-injured center as this kind of injury doesn’t project to be one that will heal fast.
After finally seeing the floor in a Cleveland Cavaliers uniform, newest addition Andrew Bogut quickly found himself at the center of everyone’s concern.
A minute into his Wine and Gold debut, Bogut hurt himself after accidentally bumping his leg into Okaro White’s.

Concern for Andrew Bogut in Cleveland was staying healthy. Not a good sign (lower leg injury) for the Cavaliers with Bogut right now.

While he could have been a big help for the Cavs matching up against Hassan Whiteside, Bogut will have to gut this one out as he is reportedly done for the night.

#Cavs say Bogut undergoing further x-rays and evaluation. Update is expected to be available postgame.
