In the first game of the Golden State Warriors 2015-16 campaign against the New Orleans Pelicans, staring center Andrew Bogut left after getting hit in his mask and he got cut open. Bogut was injured when Pelicans forward Dante Cunningham swung his head to the side and back, crashing into the side of Bogut’s head. Bogut was wearing his protective face mask due to the broken nose he suffered in preseason action but the hit was severe enough to create a laceration around his eye, spilling blood all over the court. But it did make Bogut look cool as hell.
Now it appears after some testing, Bogut has been diagnosed with a concussion.
