After missing the previous six games with a contusion in his left leg, Andre Iguodala is a game-time decision for Game 3 of the NBA Finals, with the player “leaning in the right direction,” according to head coach Steve Kerr.
“I think there’s a good chance he’ll play,” Kerr said. “I don’t know how many minutes he’d be able to play, but he’s been feeling pretty good the last two days. Made a lot of improvement from where he was, so it’s all leaning in the right direction.”
Andre Iguodala update from shootaround: Will warm up pregame, “game-time decision” per Kerr. Sounds like he’ll play. “Leaning in the right direction.”
