Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Expected back Thursday
Iguodala (hip) is expected to play Friday against the Kings, Connor Letourneau of The San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis:
Iguodala sat out Tuesday's rout of the Mavericks with a strained left hip, but the Warriors never considered it a major concern. The veteran swingman's value has never been higher to the Warriors this season, as he's been tasked with taking on an increased role while the team remains without Kevin Durant (knee). In his nine appearances since Durant went down, Iguodala is averaging 11.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 three-pointer in 29.0 minutes per game.
