Warriors center Andrew Bogut met with Dr. Richard Ferkel at the team’s practice in Los Angeles earlier today (October 20) for a scheduled follow-up consultation on Bogut’s surgically repaired left ankle.
Following the examination, Dr. Ferkel concluded that Andrew is continuing to make progress on the rehabilitation schedule that was outlined immediately following his surgery (performed by Ferkel on April 27, 2012) and that there have been no setbacks. While the results of today’s examination were positive and Bogut remains on his rehab schedule, the exact date of his return to full basketball activity has not been determined.
Bogut and the team are not setting any deadlines or time tables and the plan remains as it has been from the outset: Bogut will return to action when his ankle is 100%.

Bogut is the unquestioned key to this season for the Warriors. Their wing defenders are playing tight to ball pressure, but the result is still that if that fails, Bogut has to defend at the rim. They have outside shooters galore, but if they want something to run the system around, a sun for their solar system, it has to be Bogut.
And he’s still not back on the court.
Things are not scary for the Warriors, not yet. But if this were a horror film, and in this case a sequel we’ve seen too many times, the ominous music just started playing with the shot of the sun going down.
