Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala is reportedly closing in on a return having not played since Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
According to Chris Haynes of ESPN, Iguodala did a full workout and sprinted on Saturday, and while he didn’t play in Game 2, he is pain-free and anticipates returning before the series is over.
“I aim to play in Game 3, but I’ve aimed to play in Game 2 and Game 3,” Iguodala told ESPN after Game 2. “We’ll just have to see.”
Iguodala being pain-free is a pretty big deal, as it was one of the major tests he would have to pass in order to return. His coach anticipates that he’ll play before the series ends, and it sounds as though Wednesday’s Game 3 is actually a realistic target for a possible return to action.
