Andrew Bogut's Foul on LeBron James Results in a Cut on LeBron's Head

Kyle NewportJun 11, 2015

Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James was banged up late in the second quarter of Game 4 of the 2015 NBA Finals on Thursday after a hard foul resulted in a crash with a photographer.

James was attempting to put up a shot when Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut fouled him, sending the Cavaliers star down to the baseline. James hit his head on a photographer's camera on his way, resulting in a cut on the back of his head.

After the game, Bogut, per Sam Amick of USA Today, said he believed that James "jumped into the cameraman":

"

"I think he jumped into the cameraman," Bogut said when asked to give his perspective on the play. "Yeah, I think he came down and took two steps and then fell into the cameraman. I definitely, definitely didn't hit him that hard."

When the reporter replied by saying, "That's how you saw it?" Bogut said, "No, that's how it was. If you look at the replay, you can see the two steps being taken and then him falling into the camera. That's what we saw on the replay, and that's what my teammates saw."
