Bob Myers expects Andrew Bogut (ankle) to be 100 percent before next season begins, but he admitted that he "doesn't know what kind of water that statement holds."
In other words, nobody really knows what's going to happen with Bogut's ankle in the offseason. The center admitted he could "hardly move" during Golden State's Game 6 loss to the Spurs, and he's had issues with the ankle ever since undergoing microfracture surgery. It's something that Bogut is likely going to have to deal with for the remainder of his career. May 21 - 9:03 AM

Andrew Bogut (ankle) admitted that he could "hardly move" during the Warriors' Game 6 loss to the Spurs.

He will spend his summer in Australia, resting his ankle while working out to keep his weight down. "I anticipate that three or four months rest should do a world of wonders," he said. Bogut showed flashes of dominance in the postseason but as usual the success of his 2013-14 season is contingent upon his notoriously fragile health.

Andrew Bogut said he expects to be 100 percent by the start of next season.

Bogut clarified the statement by saying that could change if "I go out and get hit by a car or something," which sounds funny but isn't all that far from the realm of possibilities given his injury history. Bogut's surgically repaired left ankle limited him to just 32 games in the regular season and affected him enough in the postseason that he required a painkilling injection during the first round. If Bogut can stay healthy for an entire season, he could have a strong fantasy impact but that's a very big "if" at this point in his career.
May 17 - 3:53 PM

Andrew Bogut says his surgically repaired left ankle isn't bothering him and was not responsible for his limited minutes Tuesday.

Bogut played just 20 minutes in Tuesday's Game 5. Although he said Wednesday that he felt "pretty good," we're a little more than skeptical about the health of Golden State's big man. If this weren't the playoffs, there's a very good chance Bogut wouldn't even be active. Still, the Warriors will need all they can get out of him Thursday night and we're guessing Bogut will play as many minutes as his ankles will allow.
May 16 - 2:50 PM

Andrew Bogut played 20 minutes and had two points, six rebounds and zero blocks in Tuesday's Game 5 loss to the Spurs.

Bogut's ankles are in bad shape and he appeared to have trouble moving tonight. If these weren't the playoffs, he would surely be sitting out right now. They'll need him to score, rebound and block some shots on Thursday, and we're guessing he'll at least give it his best shot. But fantasy owners shouldn't expect any miracles from Bogut, who was really laboring tonight.

Mark Jackson called Andrew Bogut a "game-changer" after the Game 4 win over San Antonio.

Bogut scored only five points, but he grabbed 18 rebounds and was a force on defense. "He's a game-changer because of his presence in the paint and his high IQ for the game of basketball," the head coach said. Bogut understands his role and is "concentrated" on being a force in the paint. It's the best Bogut has looked this season and it's coming not a moment too soon for the Warriors.
May 13 - 8:22 AM

Andrew Bogut ran out of gas in Monday's loss to the Spurs and had 10 points, 15 boards, four assists, one steal and one block in 37 minutes.

The game was played at a fast pace and the Spurs took 105 field goal attempts against the Warriors. Bogut played 27.7 minutes per game in the series against the Nuggets and asking him to play over 32 minutes most likely won't end well for the Warriors due to either fatigue or the risk of injury.
May 7 - 1:26 AM

Andrew Bogut (ankle) will start Game 1 on Monday despite being limited during Sunday's practice.

"I think it's important to make sure that Steph [Curry] and Bogut get as much time to recover as possible," said Mark Jackson. Bogut needed an anti-inflammatory shot prior to Game 6 in the first round but has said that he won't have any more palliative shots during the playoffs.
May 6 - 4:03 PM

Andrew Bogut took an anti-inflammatory shot in his ankle before Game 6 on Thursday, but he doesn't intend to have any more shots in the playoffs.

Bogut said this was the first shot he's taken in his career and it's anyone's guess how he'll hold up vs. the Spurs in the second round. His presence is critical for the short-handed Warriors, who may only have David Lee (hip) available for a few minutes per game.
May 5 - 2:07 PM

Andrew Bogut revealed he had a painkilling injection in his ankle prior to Game 6 on Thursday.

"I almost didn't play today, to be honest with you," he said. "I took a shot before the game, the first one I've taken all year, that I've ever taken in my career. I'm very, very good now, but I'm not looking forward to waking up in the morning." Bogut's ankle issues are not going away, and that's especially concerning given the microfracture surgery he had on it previously.

Andrew Bogut looked healthy to help give Golden State a 4-2 series win over the Nuggets with playoff career highs of 14 points and 21 boards.

Despite being a game-time decision, he played a surprising 39 minutes, shot 7-of-10 from the field, pulled down seven offensive boards and blocked four shots. It was vintage Bogut and the Warriors looked like a different team on defense with the Aussie as the last line of defense. They're going to need his help with the Spurs leading the Western Conference in field goal percentage this season.
May 3 - 2:15 AM

Andrew Bogut is in the starting lineup to face the Nuggets in Game 6.

He was fully expected to play even though he tweaked his ankle in Game 5. The Nuggets will likely try to attack the rim, so Bogut's presence is going to be an important factor.
May 2 - 10:00 PM

Andrew Bogut reportedly tweaked his ankle in Game 5, but he's fully expected to play in Game 6 on Thursday.

Bogut was able to go through a "light" workout on Wednesday despite tweaking the ankle, so while we don't think it's a serious concern, it's always worth noting when it comes to Bogut's surgically-repaired ankle. Bogut was ineffective in his 18 minutes in Game 5 and the Warriors will need more from him on Thursday night vs. Denver.
May 2 - 10:30 AM

Andrew Bogut did a great job protecting the rim in Saturday's loss with four blocks to go with nine points, 14 boards, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

He wasn't the quickest guy on the floor, but his size went a long way to limit Denver's looks at the rim. Denver led the league in points in the paint, so Bogut's defensive presence will continue to be a major story line in this series.
Apr 20 - 8:22 PM

Andrew Bogut returned from his ankle injury on Wednesday, scoring two points with eight boards, three assists and two blocks in 17 minutes.

It wasn't a discouraging return and Bogut being back on the court is very helpful for Golden State as they head into the postseason. They will play the Nuggets and with Denver leading the NBA in points in the paint, Bogut will be asked to protect the rim.
