Warriors' Bogut out vs Raptors with back spasms

Editor's note: The video above came after the Warriors' win over the Raptors on Nov. 17.

Warriors center Andrew Bogut is experiencing back spasms and will sit out Saturday’s game at Toronto, the team announced shortly before the game.

Backup center Festus Ezeli will start in place of Bogut.

The Aussie sat out six games earlier this season after suffering a broken nose in the preseason and a concussion in Golden State's opener against the Pelicans.

The Warriors hope Bogut -- who missed a practice last week due to back soreness -- can recover in time to play Sunday, when they face 7-foot Brook Lopez and the Nets in Brooklyn.
