The Golden State Warriors will be without sixth man Andre Iguodala and rookie forward Jordan Bell tonight when they take on the San Antonio Spurs, according to Logan Murdock of the San Jose Mercury News.
Iguodala injured his wrist late in the first quarter of Tuesday’s 114-101 win over the Brooklyn Nets, though he was able to finish the game. Bell landed awkwardly after going for a blocked shot on Rondae Hollis-Jefferson in the winding seconds of the third quarter.
Bell would not return to the game and was later diagnosed with a mild sprain of his left ankle, the same one that kept him out for a big stretch in the opening seconds of a tilt against the Chicago Bulls.
Second-year forward Patrick McCaw remains out with a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist, further thinning the ranks of this Warriors team against the struggling Spurs, who are looking to climb back up the Western Conference standings.
Veteran forward David West is doubtful with a cyst issue, putting all the big man load in Kevon Looney and Zaza Pachulia off the bench, who will be the only re-enforcements.
The Spurs are still without star forward Kawhi Leonard, who is still working his way back for the imminent March return. For now, it is LaMarcus Aldridge holding down the fort, making all of these injuries all the more costly, as a difficult defensive assignment due to his ability to shoot the ball, range, and a crafty set of tools in the low-post.
