OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) —
Golden State forward
Andre Iguodala will miss
Game 1 of the NBA Finals
on Thursday night as he re-
covers from a bone bruise
in his left knee that cost him
the last four games of the
Western Conference finals.
Iguodala's absence is a
huge blow to the Warriors'
defense as it works to stop
LeBron James and the
Cleveland Cavaliers. Gold-
en State coach Steve Kerr
said several players will be
called upon to handle the
load that is James, making
his eighth straight Finals ap-
pearance.
"He was MVP of the series
in 2015, largely because
he took that role on of
guarding LeBron. But also
because of what he did Serbia's Novak Djokovic grimaces during his second round match of the French Open tennis tournament against Spain's Jaume
offensively," Kerr said. Munar at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris, France, Wednesday, May 30, 2018.
