MILWAUKEE -- We still don't know much, if anything, about the personal issues that caused Andrew Bogut to return to Australia and miss the Bucks' last four games.

But we do know that he'll be back, possibly in time for the Bucks' game Tuesday against San Antonio.

Bogut's agent, David Bauman, told the Associated Press Sunday that his client plans to return to the United States today but wouldn't be able to join the team tonight for a game in Phoenix.

According to Bogut's Australian-based manager, Bruce Kaider, Bogut is in good shape and but is dealing with "those things we all have to go through in life, certain personal issues that he is experiencing at the moment."

"We do not expect to comment further, but Andrew appreciates the support and understanding during this difficult time that he has received from his teammates, Bucks' management and the Bucks' fans," Kaider told the AP. "In particular, he also appreciates how the media and fans respected his request for privacy during these past few days."

Bogut is averaging 14.3 points and 10 rebounds in three games with the Bucks this season.
