Even though he was dropped to the bench for game four of the NBA Finals series, Andrew Bogut still managed to leave his mark on LeBron James.

Halfway through the second quarter of Thursday’s match between Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Aussie entered the match to wreak havoc on his two-metre tall opponent.

The giant pair were tussling under the ring when Bogut fouled James, who then lost balance and lurched head-first into court side camera equipment. 

He came away with a nasty cut to his head and was taken to the bench and treated before returning to the fray.

Bogut’s shock axing from the Golden State Warriors’ staring five came after fellow Aussie Matthew Dellavedova dominated world headlines for his performance on the Cleveland side.   

At half time of Game four the Warriors lead the Cavs by 12 points with the series at 1-2.
