Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson has dismissed any controversy surrounding his comments on Andrew Bogut.

The Australian center has missed the last three games with a left shoulder injury, and hit back at suggestions from his coach that he "woke up" with the problem.

"There's nothing to sort out. My office is always open. We did talk. It's nothing. I understand it. My only point is, let's talk. It's nothing," he said, according to ESPN.

Bogut told reporters that he picked up a bruised bone in a previous game, with his status unclear ahead of the All-Star break.
