Iguodala was asked Friday night whether he knew he would be sitting out the Spurs game. “Nope, no clue,” he said. “I do what master say.”. After his comments were taken as a shot toward Kerr, Iguodala clarified them by telling ESPN that he and his coach “are cool” and that he was only referencing a joke ...

Curry certainly looks in need of a breather after going 10-of-27 shooting (1-of-8 from 3-point range) and missing a game-winning 18-foot attempt in the final seconds against Minnesota and the fact that he is a porous 18-of-76 from 3-point range over the past seven contests.
