新聞大意是,Bogut本來預定在對戰溜馬隊的時候要上場,
但表弟右腳酸痛,禮拜一要接受核磁共振檢查,
所以Bogut應該會在造訪馬刺隊的時候提前上場。
Warriors shifting plans for Andrew Bogut’s return

DeMarcus Cousins’ injury

SAN ANTONIO – Originally, Andrew Bogut planned to settle in the Bay Area
this weekend so he could adjust to jet lag and find a new place to live. But
with DeMarcus Cousins having an MRI on Monday because of a sore right foot,
Bogut will be available to play when the Warriors (47-21) visit the San
Antonio Spurs (41-29) on Monday.
It is not immediately clear how many minutes Bogut will actually play. But
with the possibility of Cousins either being limited or sitting out entirely
for the Warriors’ upcoming back-to-back, it appears likely Bogut will have
some role in San Antonio (Monday) and Minnesota (Tuesday). Warriors coach
Steve Kerr can also carve out heavier minutes for forwards Kevon Looney,
Jordan Bell and Jonas Jerebko. But none of those players are true centers.
The Warriors are facing the Spurs’ 7-foot-0, 230-pound
Jakob Poeltl as well as the Timberwolves’ 7-foot-0, 248-pound Karl-Anthony
Towns.
Bogut originally planned to make his Warriors’ return on Thursday against
the Indiana Pacers at Oracle Arena, both to minimize his travel itinerary and
train at the team’s practice facility in Oakland. Bogut is recovering from
jet lag after taking a cross country flight from Sydney, Australia to the Bay
Area this weekend. But the Warriors are comfortable with Bogut’s health and
conditioning after playing for the Sydney Kings of Austalia’s National
Basketball League and winning regular-season MVP and Defensive Player of the
Year honors.
Shortly after the Warriors signed Bogut on March 6, they became optimistic he
could join them at some point on their current four-game trip. That idea
became increasingly unrealistic since Bogut experienced delays acquiring a
work visa. Bogut spoke with immigration officials at a U.S. Consulate this
week so that he could receive a work visa directly instead of traveling to
Vancouver. Bogut gave his passport to immigration officials so that they
could attach a work visa, which received before this weekend.
Bogut plans to join the Warriors in San Antonio later Sunday evening.
