Warriors have been without Andre Iguodala and others for most of the season
Iguodala re-signed a veteran minimum contract with the Warriors this season after winning his fourth NBA title with the team last season. The 39-year-old said in September he was planning to retire after this season, but he has missed most of this season due to a hip injury.
Iguodala did not make his season debut until January 8, then missed several more weeks after playing in only three games. He returned again on March 5, playing five more games before going down with a wrist injury.

Andrew Wiggins has not played since March 13, for reasons the team has declined to reveal. no return timetable, Jonathan Kuminga has also been ruled out of three matches with an ankle injury, but is likely for Wednesday.
