Andrew Bogut, Jermaine O’Neal out for Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors will continue to play with a depleted front court when they host the Miami Heat Wednesday night.
Starting center Andrew Bogut and veteran reserve big man Jermaine O’Neal will miss the game.
Warriors head coach Mark Jackson said Andrew Bogut and Jermaine O'Neal will miss Wednesday's game vs. Miami.

Bogut has missed the Warriors’ last three games because of a shoulder injury. O’Neal has been bothered by a wrist injury that caused him to miss the Warriors’ 123-80 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers Monday night. The Warriors also don’t mind giving the 35-year old O’Neal extra rest heading into the All-Star break.
Fortunately for the Warriors, one big man seems relatively healthy.
Mark Jackson said David Lee felt "fine" at Tuesday's practice after returning from shoulder/hip injuries for Monday's game.
