"Andrew Bogut says his right elbow feels better than it did a year ago, when he was trying to recover from the terrible fall he took at the Bradley Center in an April 2010 game against Phoenix.

The Milwaukee Bucks center played in 65 games last season and posted career-high numbers in rebounds (11.1 average) and blocks (2.6 average), but his offensive game suffered due to the severe injuries to his right hand and right elbow.

The 7-foot Bogut underwent additional surgery to remove bone chips from the elbow at the end of last season.

And he is working to be ready whenever he plays competitively again, whether it is with a team in the Australian league or rejoining the Bucks when and if a new collective bargaining agreement is reached between NBA players and owners."
