Bucks’ Bogut won’t miss time after nose surgery 11.24.2005

According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Bogut suffered the injury during the third quarter of Wednesday’s 108-97 win over Philadelphia when he took an inadvertent elbow from Sixers guard Allen Iverson.
Bogut, though, returned to the game in the fourth quarter wearing a protective facemask. He finished with nine points and nine rebounds in the game.
On Thursday, the Australian-born Bogut had the nose reset by Dr. Thomas Kinney and will have to wear a custom-made mask for a minimum of six weeks, but is not expected to miss any time while the injury heals.
Bogut has averaged 7.7 points and 8.2 boards in 10 games this season.
