The Warriors are expected to sign center Andrew Bogut for the remainder of the season after he receives his letter of clearance from the Australia National Basketball League’s Sydney Kings, league sources have confirmed with The Chronicle.
According to Yahoo Sports, the clearance process should take about 48 hours.
Bogut, who played four seasons for Golden State and was a key rotation player for the 2014-15 championship team, chose the Warriors over two other title contenders: Philadelphia and Boston. Though he hasn’t played an NBA game in more than a year, the 34-year-old has impressed in his native Australia, averaging 11.4 points, 11.5 rebounds and 2.7 blocks for the Sydney Kings this past season to earn the NBL Best Defensive Player Award and be voted to the All-NBL First Team.
Bogut, who was well-liked by teammates in his time with Golden State, provides Steve Kerr’s team frontcourt depth. The Warriors had been interested in filling their final roster spot with Chicago center Robin Lopez, but the Bulls opted not to buy him out. Bogut, like Lopez, is a savvy, defensive-oriented big man capable of matching up with some of the league’s best centers.
