Bogut is set to sign with the Warriors once he receives a letter of clearance from his Australian team, Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bogut has been playing with the Sydney Kings of the NBL in his native Australia, and the clearance process is expected to take roughly two days, so he should be able to join the Warriors later in the week. The 34-year-old was a member of the Warriors' 2015 championship team and will provide depth at center with Damian Jones on the shelf and Kevon Looney currently banged up.

Bogut's two-year deal with the Sydney Kings is for two years with no NBA or European outs, retiring him from the NBA, Roy Ward of The Age reports.
EDGE Analysis
As a result of injuries and diminished effectiveness, Bogut has played only 51 games over the past two seasons for Dallas, Cleveland and the Lakers, averaging 2.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 16.0 minutes. Prior to that, he spent four years with the Warriors played a role in their early success, averaging 6.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.7 blocks in 23.7 minutes. His career began in Milwaukee, where he was drafted with the No.1 overall pick back in 2005. He posted 12.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 blocks per game during his seven years with the team.

Bogut has agreed to a contract with the NBL's Sydney Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Bogut has played just 51 games over the past two seasons in the NBA, most recently being let go by the Lakers in January after averaging 1.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 9.0 minutes. It's unclear at the moment if Bogut will be attempting to use his time in Australia to vault back into a bigger NBA role, or if the plan is for him to run out the remainder of his career in his home country.

Bogut has been waived by the Lakers, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bogut played a small role with the Lakers, averaging just 9.0 minutes per game and posting 1.5 points and 3.3 rebounds. Charania notes that the move will likely allow Bogut to sign with a playoff team, rather than stay with the Lakers, who are 11-27 at the time of his release. With him out of the picture in LA, Brook Lopez and Julius Randle could see a slight uptick in minutes. Thomas Bryant and Ivica Zubac -- who have both spent most of the year in the G-League -- could earn some more time at the NBA level as well.

Bogut is set to play a reserve role in Friday's contest against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Julius Randle will replace Bogut at center in the starting lineup. The veteran big man is averaging just 1.1 points and 2.9 rebounds across 7.7 minutes as a reserve this season.

Bogut will start at center for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Lakers are set to be without Brook Lopez (ankle) for the next three weeks or so and coach Luke Walton will go with Bogut as his replacement Wednesday. That could potentially change on a game-to-game basis depending on the opposing matchup, but for Wednesday's game specifically, Bogut gets the call. He'll see a few extra minutes, though guys like Julius Randle and Larry Nance will also likely see time at the position and may be the more intriguing fantasy plays.

Bogut (back) will be active and available to play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bogut has missed the last three games with back tightness, but after testing it out during pregame warmups Wednesday, he's been given the green light to take the court. That said, Bogut is stuck in a bench role and the Lakers will likely take a cautious approach with his workload in his first game back, so Bogut will likely remain off the fantasy radar for now.

Bogut (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Bogut has missed the Lakers' previous three games while battling back tightness, but with two full days off since the team's last contest, there's hope he might be able to make a return Wednesday. Even if he's able to dress for the contest, Bogut is unlikely to receive more than a handful of minutes with Julius Randle thriving as the top backup to starting center Brook Lopez.

Bogut (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Bogut is slated to miss his third straight game, as he continues to deal with tightness in his back. The Lakers have yet to provide any sort of timetable for a return, so for now, it appears he'll be evaluated on a game-to-game basis. Bogut has been limited to single-digit minutes in all but one game he's played thus far, so even when he's at full strength, he'll struggle to be a fantasy contributor.

Bogut (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets, Eric Pincus of Basketball Insiders reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bogut is dealing with some tightness in his back and will be missing a second consecutive game. That being said, he's only logged double-digit minutes once this season, so his absence shouldn't have a drastic impact on the team's regular rotation. If anything, look for Ivica Zubac to pick up a few extra minutes.
