OAKLAND, USA – Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut, who was already wearing a mask to protect a broken nose, suffered a concussion on NBA opening day on Tuesday.
Doctors on Wednesday, October 28 diagnosed the 30-year-old from Melbourne with a concussion after he bumped heads with New Orleans Pelicans forward Dante Cunningham in a 111-95 Warrior win.
The 7-foot veteran received 3 stitches under his eye to close a cut after the collision with Cunningham while going for a rebound on a missed shot by Warriors guard Stephen Curry in the third quarter.

The Warriors didn’t say when Bogut is expected to return, but he’ll likely miss a trip to play the Houston Rockets on Friday and the Pelicans on Saturday in New Orleans.
“Obviously, we’re a much better team with him on the floor,” Warriors interim coach Luke Walton said. “But there’s nothing that worrying about it can help the situation.”
Bogut shot 6-of-6 from the field for 12 points and tallied five rebounds on Tuesday. He also added 5 assists and two blocked shots in the season opening win for the defending NBA champs. – Rappler.com
