Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut will not return to Game 5 after suffering a left knee sprain in the third quarter and will undergo an MRI on Tuesday.

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.

The 11-year veteran was helped off the court and taken back to the locker room where he was unable to put any pressure on his left leg.

Bogut 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.
