As the Golden State Warriors stand just one win away from sweeping the Portland Trail Blazers and coasting to another NBA Finals appearance, they might have to pull off that Game 4 win without their key veteran cog.

Andre Iguodala, who left Game 3 against Portland with a leg injury, has been diagnosed with a sore left calf and is questionable for Game 4.

Golden State isn't exactly jumping for joy, but it could have been much worse.

While Iguodala has been forced to take a more active role on the offensive end with Kevin Durant out, his defense remains his calling card. Iguodala made one of the best defensive plays of the entire postseason with a game-sealing stop and steal against Damian Lillard that captured Game 2 for Golden State in Oakland.

While it's been said a thousand times, it still bears repeating; Iguodala's defense, versatility, and veteran leadership makes him an indispensable cog in the Warriors dynasty. Down Durant and potentially Iggy for Game 4, the Blazers might have a shot at stealing a W.
