The team said Tuesday that Bogut spent several days last week in Los Angeles to get treatment under the supervision of Dr. Richard Ferkel, who performed the surgery on the 7-foot Australian on April 27.
The Warriors, who host the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night, anticipate Bogut being able to run on a special anti-gravity treadmill later this week and return to practice next Monday.
Bogut has missed the last six games. The 2005 No. 1 overall pick fractured his ankle Jan. 25 with Milwaukee and missed the rest of the season after being traded to Golden State for guard Monta Ellis.
