Bucks center Andrew Bogut will not play for his native Australia in the World Championships this summer.

Basketball Australia said Monday that Bogut was forced to withdraw due to injuries.

He suffered a season-ending injury to his right arm against the Suns in early April.

"This has been a tough decision, but given the nature of the injury I sustained a few weeks back I knew at that point that playing at the world championships in 2010 would be doubtful," Bogut said in a statement.

"I am certainly keen to contribute in any way possible to the team's preparations and look forward to working with ... the team as we prepare for 2012 London Olympics."
