Bogut, Iguodala out for Warriors, no Turiaf for Wolves tonight

Only regular-season finale at home against Utah Wednesday remains for Wolves after tonight's game in Oakland.

The Warriors got big, bad news today, just hours before they play the Wolves tonight at Oracle Arena.

With a playoff series with the L.A. Clippers or Oklahoma City looming, the Warriors announced starting center Andrew Bogut is out indefinitely after he fractured a rib in Sunday's overtime loss at Portland.

"We're a no-excuse team," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "It hurts, but we move forward."

Starting forward Andre Iguodala also isn't playing for Golden State, his knee is being rested for the playoffs that start this weekend.

Wolves center Ronny Turiaf is not expected to play tonight, either, after he played just four minutes Sunday in Sacramento because of that same right knee that caused him to miss 19 consecutive games in February and April.
