Sydney Kings star Andrew Bogut has agreed to return to the NBA league with his former team Golden State Warriors, it was confirmed today.
The Aussie veteran won his only NBA title with the Warriors in 2015 but the team offloaded him to the Dallas Mavericks in 2016 to clear salary cap space to sign All-Star Kevin Durant.
That was in 2017-18 and last year he made the decision to return home, opting to sign for Sydney over Melbourne. He made a huge impact for the Kings, guiding the team to the playoffs and winning the league MVP award. Warriors’ two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry said he was excited at the prospect of having Bogut back in Oakland as the franchise charges towards a fourth title in five years. Curry and Bogut joined forces at the Warriors in 2012 and were key members in turning the team into a powerhouse that has dominated the NBA.“It’s exciting, weird, a blast from the past; all that combined,” Curry said. “He’s a guy that we have a lot of experience with.
“When his name came up I thought it was one-sided,” Curry said. “Like, ‘We’re familiar with him, we like him, let’s call him to see if he’s interested’.The Warriors’ core from 2015 — Curry, Green, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston — remain, but Bogut will likely come off the bench with the addition of All-Star big man DeMarcus Cousins and Durant.

Andrew Bolt: Online activism has been reduced to ‘shouting people down’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says anonymous far-left activist group Sleeping Giants refuses to engage in debate, resorting to ‘shouting people down’ and ‘trying to silence them’.\n\nResearch conducted by Sky News in February on the most active participants in the advertiser boycott campaign found that a single user was responsible for 43 per cent of the activity, and eight out of the ten most engaged accounts were anonymous. \n\nSome brands have succumbed to the online campaign by withdrawing their advertising from Mr Bolt’s program, including private health fund NIB.
