Following the Golden State Warriors' 103-102 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was quick to notify reporters that Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala were all going to sit out Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
"We're going to get [to San Antonio] at 3 a.m.," Kerr said, perESPN. "Those guys are all playing big minutes, and this would give them three days before our home game, and then we'll have a whole week at home next week and a chance to get recharged."
Over the last eight games, the Warriors have endured a brutal schedule where they played seven games on the road, including five contests on the east coast over the course of a week before heading back home for just one game. A seemingly frustrated Curry took the "it is what it is" approach when speaking with reporters about the benching after last night's game.
However Iguodala, who was reportedly unaware of Kerr's decision while speaking with the media, had an interesting response. "Nope, no clue," Iggy said. "I do what master say."
Wait, who is Iguodala referring to as "master" in that remark?
Apparently, it had nothing to do with Kerr. Rather, it was an "inside locker joke."
