Bogut forced from Warriors' clincher with adductor strain

Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut departed Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinal against the Portland Trail Blazers and was later ruled out for the rest of the Dubs' 125-121 series-clinching victory with a right adductor strain.

Bogut left after playing only nine minutes of the first half. He had taken a ball to the groin in the game, but that is not believed to be when the injury occurred. The Aussie veteran's minutes have varied in the second round against Portland. Starting every game, he logged 26 minutes in Game 4, but only 11 in Game 3. He's averaging 4.8 points and six rebounds in this year's playoffs.

Bogut was replaced in the lineup by Festus Ezeli.
