Andre Iguodala - Won't play Wednesday Iguodala (back) won't play Wednesday against Utah.
Impact The veteran suffered a back strain during Monday's win over the Thunder and will now have to miss yet another matchup due to injury. Before logging six minutes Monday, Iguodala was sidelined for eight games with a hip injury. Expect Otto Porter and Damion Lee to garner the vacated minutes versus the Jazz.

Kevon Looney - Questionable at Utah Looney is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to a bruised left quad.
Impact Looney has yet to miss a game this season, and his rebounding has taken a step up since the absence of Draymond Green. If Looney sits out, more minutes will be available for Juan Toscano-Anderson, Otto Porter and Jonathan Kuminga. All three could end up seeing minutes at center.

James Wiseman - Participates in 3-on-3 scrimmage Wiseman (knee) participated in a full-contract, 3-on-3 scrimmage Tuesday, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Wiseman, who suffered a torn meniscus last April, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in December after his rehab wasn't going as planned. Andrews relays that the scrimmage was Wiseman's first contact work since initially suffering the injury, so it appears the 2020 No. 2 overall pick is trending in the right direction. Barring a setback, Golden State may have Wiseman back sometime after the All-Star break. The talented big man averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds during his rookie season, but it's unclear what type of role he will have when he eventually returns, as the Warriors' roster is dramatically different than a year ago.

Jonathan Kuminga - Provides support off bench Kuminga finished with 16 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes Monday in the Warriors' 110-98 win over the Thunder.
Impact The returns of Otto Porter (back) and Andre Iguodala (hip) from multi-game absences was expected to result in a smaller role for Kuminga, but the rookie end up clearing the 20-minute mark for the third game in a row with the Warriors electing to limit Porter and with Iguodala exiting due to back tightness after playing only six minutes. With a back-to-back set Wednesday and Thursday versus the Jazz and Knicks on tap next for the Warriors, one or more of Porter, Iguodala or Klay Thompson is likely to sit due to rest or injury for either or both of those contests, so Kuminga should continue to benefit from elevated playing time in the short term. The rookie is averaging 17.7 points (on 61.1 percent shooting from the field), 4.7 boards and 2.7 assists during this most recent three-game stretch.
