Andrew Bogut fractures leg less than a minute into his debut with the Cavaliers

Andrew Bogut signed with the Cavaliers four days ago and was expected to be a huge addition to the team's depth for a run through the postseason.

But 58 seconds into his debut with the Cavs on Monday, Bogut left the game with an apparent lower left leg injury.

"Initial x-rays and evaluation at The Q revealed a fractured left tibia," the team announced later in an official release.

The 32-year-old big man was a key defensive piece for the Warriors in their trips to the Finals the past two seasons, but Golden State traded him to the Mavericks in the offseason in order to create the salary cap space necessary to sign Kevin Durant. Dallas traded Bogut to the Sixers at the deadline, and he was subsequently waived so he could join a contender in time for the playoffs.
