The Golden State Warriors will face the Spurs in San Antonio shortly but will do so without the services of Andrew Bogut, as expected.
Bogut suffered a sprained left toe against the Dallas Mavericks last night, was listed as doubtful shortly after the game, and was ruled out this afternoon.
Andrew Bogut had an MRI and is out.

Steve Kerr: "Hopefully Bogut won't be out for too long."

The Warriors don't expect to have MRI results on center Andrew Bogut until tomorrow. For now, they're calling it "a left foot/toe injury."

Meanwhile, the Spurs are doing alright.
San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich said everyone is available for the Spurs tonight vs. the Warriors.

All this means is that the Warriors really have nothing to lose and only confidence to gain tonight. And the way they've played so far this season, that seems like a recipe for something exciting even if they take a loss.
Kerr understands historical significance of tonight, but added, "It's not going to make a dramatic difference...ultimately in the season."

Most importantly, I can finally use the Hoops Wars graphic that GSoM user BornInDaEB posted as a FanPost.
