WASHINGTON (AP) - Center Andrew Bogut returned to Milwaukee's starting lineup Monday night for the first time since Jan. 2, finishing with 18 points and 10 rebounds in the Bucks' 97-91 victory over the Washington Wizards.
Bogut scored eight of Milwaukee's first 17 points, then poured in another eight in the fourth quarter.After back spasms sidelined Bogut for four games, he returned to action as a reserve against Minnesota on Saturday.
"It's still hurting a little bit. I have some problems to sort through," Bogut said. "I'm still working to get my back better and stronger, and hopefully, it will be better tomorrow morning."
He shot 9-for-12 on field goals but did not attempt a free throw in 38 1/2 minutes of action.
"I'd like to see him get to the line," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said.
