Milwaukee Bucks centre Larry Sanders has been ruled out until at least the All-Star break this weekend after sustaining a broken bone near his eye.

Bucks coach Larry Drew confirmed that Sanders had received an accidental elbow to the face from James Harden in Saturday night's game against the Houston Rockets.

Drew went on to reveal that Sanders was suffering from double vision in the eye, and will be sidelined until medically cleared to return.

Sanders missed nearly two months earlier this season with a torn thumb ligament he sustained after a fight at a Milwaukee nightclub.
