Warriors' Iguodala expected to play through broken nose

Golden State Warriors small forward Andre Iguodala apparently suffered a broken nose in Thursday's preseason tilt against the Los Angeles Lakers, as reported by CSN Bay Area's Monte Poole.

If Iguodala can in fact play through the injury, the Warriors will have dodged a bullet, as their depth on the wing behind him is rather thin. Should Iguodala be unavailable, small forward Harrison Barnes figures to be his replacement.

Last season, Iguodala experienced a sharp dip in scoring, averaging just 9.3 points per game, but his elite defensive ability helped fuel the Warriors' fourth-ranked defense.
