Andrew Bogut has been a very injury prone player for his NBA career. His legs have gone through numerous surgeries and tears that I’m surprised this guy can jump.
According to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports:
Bogut’s injury woes reached a boiling point during the middle of that season, telling his agent David Baumann that he planned to retire at season’s end.
“I called him midseason and said, ‘I’m done, ‘ ” said Bogut, whose Warriors are an NBA-best 21-3. “My back was so bad at the time. After every game it was like a balloon and it was like catching my tail to get back to the next game. If we had two games in three days, my ankles were really swollen. I had to get around the clock treatment, anti-inflammatories. It got to the point where it just wasn’t responding.
What stopped him? His love for cars and winning.
Bogut has been crucial to the Warriors winning this year, and now he has missed his 5th straight game with leg problems. Let’s hope he’s not done, because the Warriors are too much fun to watch.
