Warriors' Iguodala out at least 2 weeks with ankle sprain
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Andre Iguodala will miss at least two weeks after sustaining a left ankle sprain.
Iguodala underwent an MRI on Saturday after injuring his ankle in Friday night's 128-112 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
While he's not putting up gaudy numbers, Iguodala has been an important component of the Warriors' bench with his impressive two-way play. The 2015 Finals MVP is averaging 7.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists while shooting 48.4 percent from the field.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr called Andre Iguodala's ankle injury is "significant" but added that it was not broken. Brandon Rush will fill in.

Brandon Rush should see extended playing time while Iguodala sits. The Kansas product is averaging just 4.5 points and 2.6 rebounds, but is shooting 42.6 percent from deep.
