When the Golden State Warriors take the floor for their 82nd and final game of the 2017-2018 regular season, they will once again be doing it without perhaps their best reserve player and a member of their infamous “death lineup”—Andre Iguodala.
According to Warriors PR, the 34-year-old swingman will miss his second straight game with left knee soreness.
Injury report for tomorrow night's game at Utah: Damian Jones (left mid foot sprain) is probable. Stephen Curry (left MCL sprain), Andre Iguodala (left knee soreness) & Patrick McCaw (lumbar spine contusion) are out.

Iguodala has missed six of the Warriors’ last seven games with the injury. The Warriors are undoubtedly exercising an abundance of caution with Iguodala’s knee in an attempt to get him as healthy as possible for the Warriors’ first-round playoff series this weekend.
Whether the Warriors win or lose Tuesday against the Jazz, they will be the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. Their opponent, however, has not been determined yet. Seeds 3 through 9 in the West are separated by just two games. As of Tuesday morning, the West team in seventh place was the Oklahoma City Thunder.
