Warriors set to sign Bogut for stretch run
The Golden State Warriors expect to sign their former center Andrew Bogut soon, a source told ESPN, although there are formalities that have to be completed before a contract can be signed.
Bogut has to obtain a work visa and get clearance from FIBA before he can sign a contract for the remainder of the season. Bogut completed his season with the Sydney Kings of Australia's National Basketball League on Sunday. A source said Bogut is expected to get FIBA clearance this week, but the work visa could take seven to 10 days to arrive.
A source said Warriors assistant general manager Larry Harris, who drafted Bogut first overall as general manager of the Bucks in 2005, recently went to Australia to visit Bogut and watch him play.
Bogut, 34, first joined the Warriors for the 2012-13 season and started 230 regular-season games over a four-year span. He was a member of Golden State's 2015 championship team.
