Andre Iguodala gets shots up before Game 3, plus lineups for Warriors vs. Mavericks
DALLAS — The bunches of Warriors fans who came out to American Airlines Center were treated to a promising sight during pregame warmups.
Andre Iguodala was in full warm-up gear getting up shots with teammate Andrew Wiggins.
Iguodala, 38, has missed the last 10 playoff games with a disc injury in his neck and his return for these playoffs is “up in the air,” Kerr said on Thursday. “I don’t have expectations either way.”
Gary Payton II was getting shots up during shootaround on Sunday morning with one arm, his left arm wrapped in ice. Payton fractured his left elbow on a hard fall during Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals when Memphis’ Dillon Brooks committed a foul on him during a fast-break. He will be re-evaluated in less than a week and while a return during the Western Conference finals is possible, it’s considered unlikely.
The Warriors will roll with their tried and true starting lineup for Game 3 against the Mavericks:
Steph Curry
Klay Thompson
Andrew Wiggins
Draymond Green
Kevon Looney
Looney is coming off a career game in Game 2 in which he scored 21 points with 12 rebounds in the Warriors’ win.
The Mavericks start:
Luka Dončić
Dorian Finney-Smith
Jalen Brunson
Reggie Bullock
Dwight Powell
