Iguodala will not play in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics.

Iguodala will be out of action on Sunday due to inflammation in his knee. He played 12 minutes in the first game of the series. The veteran hadn't played in a while because of a neck injury. Steve Kerr said that Iguodala's knee swelled up on Saturday and that he will be considered day-to-day moving forward.

This could clear the way for Gary to play in the NBA finals. He was available to play, but he didn't play in the first game of the series.

In the first game of the series, Kerr said he would only use Payton for special circumstances. Kerr said that he expects to use him more for his defense in the second game.

The point guard fractured his elbow in the second round of the playoffs.
