After a season-long, award-winning sojourn in the NBL, it looks like Andrew Bogut might be heading back stateside. According to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania, multiple teams in the NBA are keen to poach the Aussie centre.
According to Charania’s tweet, the Golden State Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers are among the teams looking to sign Bogut, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft.
Multiple contenders, including Golden State and Philadelphia, are expected to express interest in upcoming free agent Andrew Bogut. His season has ended in playoffs of Australia’s NBL, where Bogut was league MVP and DPOY, and he will take some time to decide on next team.

Currently an unsigned free agent, Bogut took a year to come play for the Sydney Kings in the 2018-19 NBL season. In doing so he was named the league’s most valuable player and best defensive player.
Since being first drafted in 2005, Bogut has played for a number of NBA teams, most prominently the Milwaukee Bucks, the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Warriors were NBA champs in 2015 during his tenure.
Ah, the world of insider-y NBA tweets. Soon they come for us all, including our NBL imports.
