Bruton's knee issues force missed game
Bruton is being kept off the practice floor this week and coach Andrej Lemanis confirmed yesterday he will sit out Friday's game, the 100th NBL game at the North Shore Events Centre.Full article
That brings to an end a run of 83 consecutive ANBL games for Bruton dating back to January 2009. He has only missed two games since joining the Breakers in 2008 - and the club lost both.
Lemanis was still awaiting results of scans taken on Bruton's knees but the prognosis is that he is suffering from tendonitis and that the best treatment is time off his legs. The trainers' plan was to "nurse" Bruton back to health by keeping weight off those ageing knees for as long as possible.
