When the Golden State Warriors revealed last week that Andrew Bogut had begun taking part in some team shootarounds, and another report came out that he was using an ankle brace due to increased post-practice training, it seemed like good news; as if Bogut may be nearing a return to game action. However, Bogut told reporters Saturday that he has no timeline set for his return at this point, according to Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Gate.

"It is definitely taking a lot longer than we expected," Bogut said. "I tried to give it a go at the start of the season, and it blew up. I lost my mobility and flexibility back in November, and I decided it was smart to try to be ready for the long haul, rather than play in five-game increments and then have to take time off.

"It's frustrating. Nobody wants to be hurt. I don't want to be hurt. At the same time, I've got no choice but to go through this process, do the right things and then come back strong."

It's hard to read between the lines here, partly because the Warriors have only released limited information on his status since November, when Bogut let it slip that he had a micofracture procedure on his left ankle. Bogut was allowed to talk a bit yesterday because he was back in Milwaukee for the first time since being traded from the Milwaukee Bucks. It's a safe bet that he won't play until after the All-Star break and that he will be on a serious minutes restriction once he does play.

He isn't playing back to backs?

I heard it from another forum. The claim was it was similar to Rush's, but partial tears don't hurt and you can't really feel them. So it was not a source or anything, just someones observation. And my first thought when I saw it happen was a partial tear too. I think I am probably wrong though.
