Deap thigh bruise may keep Bogut out of the Celtics game.
Quote:
St. Francis - Finding any good news is difficult for the Milwaukee Bucks these days.
On a day when point guard Mo Williams and forward Desmond Mason returned to the practice court, it certainly qualified as good news.
But sitting on the sideline was 7-foot center Andrew Bogut, who suffered a deep left thigh bruise in the fourth quarter against Utah on Wednesday and could miss his first game of the season tonight.
And the other bad news?
Uh, yeah, the Boston Celtics are in town for their first visit to the Bradley Center since they obtained Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in mega-deals last summer.
Former Bucks guard Sam Cassell has joined the Celtics, too, and they have the best record in the National Basketball Association at 51-13 after losing to Utah on Friday night.
"I watch basketball," Williams said. "They're good. They play together, they defend. They have 50 wins for a reason.
"They have Paul (Pierce) who can score and can slash; they have a shooter in Ray that can knock down threes. And they have a post-up guy (Garnett) who can just get buckets, and they do a good job of deferring to each other.
"And they have the role players - Eddie House and now Sam Cassell - and those big men. It's fun to watch 'em when we're not playing. I'm envious of every team that's winning right now and having fun on the bench.
"I miss that feeling."

Mo, you don't help your big men out much, I could see you playing with Garnett and not passing the ball to him. I doubt if any of the celtics point guards have had 0 to 2 assist games this year.
