June 15 (Reuters) - Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut will miss the remainder of the NBA Finals after injuring his knee, the team said on Wednesday, with the Australian still hopeful of recovering in time for the Olympics.

Bogut, who traveled to Cleveland for Thursday's Game Six, where the Warriors have another chance to capture their second consecutive NBA title, suffered a "significant impaction injury" to his left knee in Game Five, the team said in a statement.
