- Andrew Bogut will start at center for the two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors after DeMarcus Cousins tore his quad in the team’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, head coach Steve Kerr said on Wednesday.
The towering Australian, who won a championship with Golden State in 2015, rejoined the team as a backup to Cousins in March after a standout season with the Sydney Kings in Australia’s National Basketball League . “This is why we got him — just in case. We were hoping we wouldn’t have any injuries obviously but that was our most vulnerable position,” he said.Last month Bogut, 34, said he was happy to just be along for the ride and would be fine just waving a towel and cheering his team mates from the bench.Kerr could have started 23-year-old big man Kevon Looney or forward Draymond Green at center but said he was confident in Bogut’s abilities.
