Warriors' Andre Iguodala could miss Game 2 vs. Spurs with a knee injury
Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala didn't play at all in the second half of his team's wild 113-111 come-from-behind win over the Spurs on Sunday, and it was initially believed that it was simply a result of acting head coach Mike Brown's quirky lineup decisions. Iguodala had averaged more than 28 minutes per game in the playoffs heading into the matchup, and Brown only said afterward that his player looking "hobbled" in the first half was what led to his decision.
But Iguodala said he's set for an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of what the team is calling left knee soreness, and also mentioned that the team's trainers were the ones during the game who told him he was out.
Even if the results of the test come back clean, Marcus Thompson of the Mercury News is reporting that "there is a strong chance Iguodala will be held out for rest and treatment just as a precaution."
The Spurs, of course, are dealing with a far more important injury. Kawhi Leonard left Game 1 after re-injuring his ankle, and a 23-point Spurs lead immediately was cut to just five after the Warriors went on an 18-0 run the moment Leonard headed to the locker room for the remainder of the contest.
