Australia's Andrew Bogut injured during crucial Western Conference semi-finals

Andrew Bogut has suffered a groin injury and did not return for the second-half of the Golden State Warriors' crucial NBA Western Conference semi-final game five clash with the Portland Trail Blazers..

The Australian centre hobbled off the Warriors' Oracle Arena court on Wednesday in the second quarter, with the team later saying he strained his right abductor muscle.

The teams are locked in a tight struggle in a clash where a Warriors win would eliminate the Trail Blazers from the playoffs.
