The Golden State Warriors could be severely shorthanded in a pivotal Game 5 against the Houston Rockets.

The Warriors announced that both Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala are questionable for Thursday.

Thompson has a left knee strain and Iguodala continues to deal with a left leg contusion that kept him sidelined for Game 4, which Houston won to even the Western Conference finals series at 2-2.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr, however, was mostly upbeat about his team's condition, as relayed by Anthony Slater of The Athletic. He said Thompson was "moving around really well" and that Iguodala was "feeling better."

Stephen Curry, who just returned from an MCL sprain, was also seen with his knee taped after practice, according to Mark Medina of the Mercury News.

Golden State's roster imbalance became clear during its loss in Game 4, as Kerr simply ran out of options on the wing. Without Iguodala, his only choices were a streaky gunner in Nick Young, a G League call-up in Quinn Cook, or to play big with one of his centers who've struggled to match up with Houston's roster thus far.
