On Tuesday, Casspi was listed as probable with a bruised rib, but a mid-back strain struck the final blow that sidelined the small forward. As for Iguodala, strains in his low-back and hip are keeping him from suiting up against the Mavericks, making this the sixth time this season he’s been listed as inactive.
Both bench players appeared in 32 of the Warriors’ first 37 games; Iguodala averaging roughly 26 minutes and four rebounds per game, and Casspi averaging 16.3 minutes and seven points per appearance.
