Warriors' Andrew Bogut: Will not return to Game 5

Bogut won't return to Game 5 against the Cavaliers after suffering a sprained left knee. He will undergo an MRI on Monday night.

Analysis:

Bogut had his left leg caught underneath J.R. Smith while attempting to block a shot in the third quarter, causing it to slightly bend in the wrong direction. He was unable to put any weight on the leg while leaving the court, but the severity his injury won't be made clear until the Warriors release the results of his MRI. If Bogut ends up sitting out a potential Game 6 on Thursday, Draymond Green, who will return from a one-game suspension, could make the start at center. If the Warriors decide to go with a bigger lineup, Festus Ezeli and Anderson Varejao would likely pick up increased minutes.
