Andre Iguodala plans NBA Finals return as knee is pain-free

OAKLAND, Calif. --  Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala has been pain-free over the last few days and plans to return sometime during the NBA Finals, league sources tell ESPN.

On Saturday, Iguodala went through a full personal workout and sprinted for the first time since suffering a bone bruise in his left knee in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, sources said.

The swingman's status for Game 3 on Wednesday is still unknown, according to sources.

When approached after the Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 122-103 in Game 2 to take a 20- series lead, Iguodala told ESPN, "I aim to play in Game 3, but I've aimed to play in Game 2 and Game 3. We'll just have to see."

"I'm optimistic Andre will play at some point in the series," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said on Sunday. "He has gotten better gradually, but there's no way of knowing for sure at this point."

Almost two weeks ago, Kerr said: "Until he's able to run without pain, I can't play him."

The 2015 Finals MVP has missed the past six games.
