Australian NBA Star Andrew Bogut Drops 10kg After Giving Up Sugar

A rejuvenated and leaner Andrew Bogut is looking forward to taking his slimmed-down frame to the court when the Golden State Warriors start their NBA title defence later this month.
The Australian centre has dropped 10kg over the off-season to now weigh in at 114kg, three-and-a-half months after the Warriors won the NBA championship with a 4-2 finals series victory over LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers.
Bogut was benched for the final two games of the finals series as coach Steve Kerr opted for a more agile side.
