The New Jersey Nets PR department is reported that G-F Keith Bogans is out for the season with a deltoid ligament tear. Bogans played all 82 games for the Chicago Bulls in 2010-11, but only appeared in five games for the Nets in 2011-12 before going down with an injury in Wednesday night's game. In his few games with the Nets, he was averaging only 18.8 minutes and 4.2 minutes per game.
↵Bogans was nonplussed when the Bulls released Bogans in the abbreviated NBA preseason last December to make room for free agent shooting guard Richard Hamilton. Bogans has played for 7 different NBA teams at 8 different times and has had only one full-time starting gig -- the Bulls in 2010-11.
↵The 31-year-old has played in 591 career games, shooting a .395 field goal percentage while scoring 10.8 points per 36 minutes. His surgery is schedule for February 13.
