Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut exited Game 5 of the NBA Finals in the third quarter with a left leg injury.

Bogut came down awkwardly after colliding midair with Cleveland Cavaliers forward J.R. Smith. Bogut's knee appeared to take the worst of the contact, bending backwards. He'd lay on the floor in pain grabbing his leg.

Bogut was helped off the court and headed back to the locker room where he was unable to put any pressure on his left leg.

The 11-year veteran entered Monday averaging 4.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 21 playoff games.

Golden State is already without starting forward Draymond Green, who is serving a one-game suspension.
