The Golden State Warriors will be without starting shooting guard Klay Thompson and backup big man Kevon Looney for a second straight game, as they're listed as out against the Boston Celtics, according to Connor LeTourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Warriors will get Andre Iguodala back for Tuesday's game, though, giving them at least a defensive presence to trot out against the struggling Celtics, losers of four in a row.
Golden State shot the ball well without Thompson, connecting on 14-of-33 from beyond the arc, but were in need of his perimeter defense as the Philadelphia 76ers hit 14 triples of their own.
This will mark Thompson's third absence in 64 games this season, still in line to keep his title of iron man alive, never missing more than nine games since his second season in the league.
Jordan Bell is expected to see minutes once again with Looney out of commission, something that could change once Andrew Bogut rejoins the fold after he finishes ironing out contractual matters with the Sydney Kings of the Australian Basketball League.
Bogut is coming off an MVP season in his native land and could soon start garnering minutes at center as an excellent screener and pivot man from the high post.
