Andrew Bogut sends out cryptic tweet likely referencing Damian Lillard


LeBron James isn't the only NBA player who has been sending out cryptic messages on Twitter lately.

In a not-so-subtle tweet early Sunday morning, Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut sent out the following:

Of course, Bogut is referring to earning the third most votes in a poll conducted by the Los Angeles Times to find the NBA's dirtiest players. But what "wreckless play" could he be talking about?

We have an idea.

During the Warriors 128-112 win against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night, Andre Iguodala -- 2015 NBA Finals MVP and the Warriors sixth-man -- suffered an ankle sprain that is expected to sideline him for at least two weeks.

“It’s a big deal. It’s a really big deal,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said the next day per the San Francisco Chronicle. “Andre is so important to everything we do — not only just in terms of schematically, but also in terms of emotionally. He settles us down. He’s one of our two captains. He’s one of our guys who just always knows what’s happening on the floor.”

Here's the play:

Damian Lillard, not known as a "dirty player," was diving for a loose ball when he rolled up on Iguodala's leg, resulting in the ankle sprain.

"He got me good," Iguodala told CSNBayArea.com after the game.

The Warriors will meet the Blazers for the fourth and final team this season on April 3.
