"The Hampton Five" will be down a man Tuesday night against the Houston Rockets.

Golden State Warriors veteran forward Andre Iguodala will not play in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals at Oracle Arena due to a left leg contusion.

"If he was close, he would play. He's injured so he's not playing," said Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, according to The Mercury News' Logan Murdock. "We'll see what happens in a couple days."

Kevon Looney will get the start in Iguodala's stead.

The injury occurred with just under eight minutes remaining in Sunday's 41-point blowout victory. Rockets guard James Harden drove right at Iguodala, but lost his footing and fell into the 34-year-old's leg.

Iguodala has averaged 8.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.7 steals on 61.5 percent shooting across Golden State's first three meetings with the No. 1-seeded Rockets.
