Iguodala missed the second half of Game 1 and all of Game 2 with soreness in his left knee. The Sixth Man Award finalist returned to practice on Thursday, and told NBC Sports Bay Area that he felt fine despite not being 100 percent.
“You’re never 100 percent at this stage of the season,” Iguodala said. “We all have to deal with nagging injuries. But I feel fine.”
The Warriors will be at full strength except for starting center Zaza Pachulia, who has been ruled out with a right heel contusion. Brown said that the Warriors are planning on starting JaVale McGee in his place, but that plans could change depending on if the Spurs start the game with a smaller lineup.
Spurs star forward Kawhi Leonard has also been ruled out for the second consecutive game after re-aggravating his ankle in Game 1.
