The Golden State Warriors dropped Game 4 to the Houston Rockets 95-92 on Tuesday night and are wounded going into Game 5 in Houston tonight.
Iguodala, who is dealing with a left leg contusion and did not play in Game 4, remains questionable to play in the game but Thompson, who suffered a left knee strain in Game 4, will play, according to Mark Medina of the San Jose Mercury News.
The Warriors expect Klay Thompson to play in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday after nursing a left knee strain that limited him in the team’s Game 4 loss. Though Warriors coach Steve Kerr said veteran forward Andre Iguodala has made “incremental progress” in a left lateral leg contusion that sidelined him for Game 4, Kerr called Iguodala’s availability for Game 5 a “game-time decision.”
“He needs more treatment,” Kerr said of Iguodala. “He’ll probably warm up. We’ll see what happens.”
Thompson suffered his injury when he was accidentally stepped on by Houston big man Clint Capela following a layup attempt. He stayed in the game but did not appear to be 100 percent.
While Thompson participated fully in shootaround this morning, Iguodala was only a partial participant.
Thompson is averaging 19.4 points per game in the playoffs, while Iguodala is averaging 7.9 points and 4.9 rebounds.
