Andrew Bogut will play at Oracle Arena on Thursday for the first time since he signed with the Golden State Warriors on March 6 and head coach Steve Kerr thinks the Dubs fans are going to be excited to see the big man back in town.
Bogut was part of the 2015 Warriors team which won the championship over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Golden State traded the former No.1 overall pick to the Dallas Mavericks in the summer of 2016 because they had to clear cap space to sign star small forward Kevin Durant.
Steve Kerr said he expects “more than a warm reception” for Andrew Bogut in his Oracle return tonight: “Our fans recognize that in many ways Andrew represented the (organization’s) shift.” pic.twitter.com/HHCLrTmEXw

Andrew Bogut has appeared in two games with the Warriors this season. The center is averaging 4.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest while shooting 50.0 percent from the field.
Golden State now has a dynamic duo in the front court with Bogut and All-Star DeMarcus Cousins.
Boogie is a walking double and lethal scoring threat, while Bogut is a stout defender and can help Cousins on defense if the two are playing together.
The Warriors have the best record in the Western Conference entering Thursday. Barring something unforeseen happening in the playoffs, the Dubs will likely win their third straight title and fourth in five years.
Bogut would capture his second title if that happens.
