Bogut helped to locker room after suffering leg injury in Cavs debut

Ken Blaze / USA TODAY Sports

Andrew Bogut's debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers was short-lived.

Less than two minutes into his first shift as a Cavalier, Bogut collided with Miami Heat forward Okaro White on a closeout Monday, taking a knee to the shin. He immediately hobbled to the sideline, unable to put any weight on his left leg, and needed to be helped to the locker room.

Bogut is undergoing X-rays, and will not return. An update on his status is expected from the team after the game.

Bogut signed with the Cavs after being bought out by the Philadelphia 76ers last week. His only impact on the boxscore in his debut was two fouls.
