Bogut Has Sprained Wrist, MRI Reveals No Damage

Oct 25, 2007 6:26 PM EST

Andrew Bogut has a sprained left wrist, the Milwaukee Bucks said Thursday after the 7-foot center had more tests to determine the severity of the injury.

Bogut left the Bucks' preseason game at Denver on Tuesday night in the third quarter. X-rays after the game were negative, and an MRI exam on Wednesday revealed no broken bones or other serious problems.

The team said Bogut, the No. 1 pick of the 2005 draft, will not be available for the Bucks' final two preseason games.

His status is listed as day to day on the injury report, and it's not yet decided whether Bogut will play in Milwaukee's regular-season opener on Oct. 31 in Orlando.

Krystkowiak Likes Yi's Quick Progress

Oct 19, 2007 8:39 AM EST

Yi Jianlian is progressing quite well in training camp, learning more each day as the countdown continues to the Milwaukee Bucks' season opener Oct. 31 in Orlando.

That's the word from Bucks' coach Larry Krystkowiak, who is closely monitoring the 7-foot power forward from China and the No. 6 overall pick in the June draft.

"I love what he's doing," Krystkowiak said after practice Thursday at the Cousins Center. "I'm really encouraged for what the future holds for him. It's been remarkable how fast he's picked some things up, even today."
