Warriors' Bogut, Barbosa injured in win over Thunder
Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut avoided serious injury in Sunday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Bogut was forced to leave the game in the first half with an orbital contusion, but had a CT scan after the contest that came back negative. He's considered questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Miami Heat.
The oft-injured Bogut has stayed healthy this season and provided the Warriors with quality minutes. Bogut's averaging 8.5 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game on 61.1 percent shooting from the field.
With David Lee having missed all but seven minutes this season, losing Bogut would have tested the Warriors' frontcourt depth. Luckily for Golden State, Bogut's injury appears to be nothing serious, while Lee could possibly return by the end of the team's five-game road trip.
Leandro Barbosa didn't play the second half, either, after spraining his right knee. The shooting guard told coach Steve Kerr that he hyperextended his knee, according to Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Brazilian Blur did post on Instagram afterwards, however, that there is "no serious injury, just a bit of pain."
Barbosa scored one point in six minutes, while Bogut had two points and a pair of blocks in eight minutes of action.
The Warriors improved to 10-2 with the victory, marking its best start in franchise history.
