Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Will come off bench for Game 7 of NBA Finals

Iguodala (back) will come off the bench in Sunday's Game 7 against the Cavaliers.

Analysis:

Iguodala is still dealing with some back stiffness entering Game 7, but that's not necessarily the reason he'll be dropped from the lineup. The Warriors were soundly beaten in Game 6 while rolling out a small-ball starting lineup with Andrew Bogut (knee) sitting out, so coach Steve Kerr will go with a more traditional setup Sunday that features Festus Ezeli rather than Iguodala in the starting five. Even while coming off the bench, Iguodala should still see his usual heavy workload while trying to slow down LeBron James on the defensive end.
