The hits just keep on coming for the Golden State Warriors. After already losing Andrew Bogut for the NBA Finals in Game 5 of the series on Monday night, the team has suffered yet another injury in Game 6.
After playing much of the first quarter, Andre Iguodala began to feel stiffness in his back during Game 6.

While Iguodala was able to check back in, the Warriors have already had enough issues dealing with players being banged up in the playoffs.
The long grueling stretch of the season is tough on everyone and with these teams playing all the way into June, the players are feeling wear and tear on their bodies more than any other in the league.
Even worse for the Warriors, the team came out flat offensively and the Cavaliers quickly jumped out to a 20-point lead over them. If Iguodala’s back injuries persist, it could end up being a factor in this series if there is indeed a Game 7.
The NBA Finals, once thought to be a quick series, has turned into a marathon of events.
