NBA Playoff Highlights

Andre Iguodala sits fourth quarter with “lower leg soreness,” to get MRI Sunday

Golden State Warriors v Portland Trail Blazers - Game Three

PORTLAND, OREGON - MAY 18: Andre Iguodala #9 of the Golden State Warriors dribbles against Al-Farouq Aminu #8 of the Portland Trail Blazers during the first half in game three of the NBA Western Conference Finals at Moda Center on May 18, 2019 in Portland, Oregon.

DaMarcus Cousins. Kevin Durant.

Now you might be able to add Andre Iguodala to the list of injured Warriors. He only played 18 minutes in Game 3 Saturday night, none after he was taken out with 7:49 left in the third quarter. Asked about that after the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr listed a hockey injury — lower leg soreness — and said an MRI was coming.

If he has to miss time, that would be another blow to the Warriors. Up 3-0 on Portland, Golden State can close this series out without him, but the Warriors are going to need Iguodala and Durant — and, ideally, Cousins — against the Bucks or Raptors in the NBA Finals starting on May 30.

Iguodala made friends and influenced people when he went back to the locker room late in the first quarter, deciding to flip off the hallway camera on his way.

We will see if the League has anything to say about that or lets it slide.
