Kevin Durant will be missing Wednesday’s contest with a bruised thigh, which
allows Iguodala to pick up the start. Coach Steve Kerr reportedly decided on
Iguodala as his replacement in order to bring a strong defensive presence
against the opposing duo of Andrew Wiggins and Jimmy Butler on the perimeter.
Iguodala should push for a 30-minute role while working with the starters,
though guys like Nick Young and Omri Casspi should also help cover Durant’s
minutes.
