Under minute into his debut with the Cavaliers against the Heat on Monday, Bogut went down with a broken leg and had to be helped to the locker room by Tristan Thompson and James Jones.
"Cavaliers center Andrew Bogut experienced a left leg injury during the second quarter of Monday’s game in Cleveland vs. the Miami Heat," the team said in a release .
"Initial x-rays and evaluation at The Q revealed a fractured left tibia. Bogut was taken to the Cleveland Clinic for further imaging and evaluation and additional updates will be made as they become available."
Bogut, who signed with the Cavs on Thursday, wasn't putting any pressure on his leg after colliding with Miami's Okaro White on this play.
Unfortunate.

Bogut has missed significant time in his career due to injuries. Most recently, he suffered a right knee injury in December when Roy Hibbert fell into his leg.
