PHOENIX - Andrew Bogut, who missed Wednesday’s practice after tweaking his back during the Warriors’ record-setting win over the Lakers the previous night, will start Friday against the Suns.
“It was still sore Wednesday, so there was no reason to fight through a practice,” interim head coach Luke Walton said. “We had the next day off for an extra rest day. Now, he says he feels great.”
Bogut is averaging 7.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocked shots this season. He seemed a little anxious to see how his back would react during game action against Tyson Chandler, but Bogut was still all smiles in the pregame locker room.
