Forward Andre Iguodala also exited Game 2 late in the second quarter with an apparent head injury, but returned in the third.

Iguodala appeared to take an elbow to the head as Raptors’ Kawhi Leonard drove towards the rim.

The forward stayed down on the floor in discomfort, then left to the Warriors locker room. He did not return prior to halftime, but was able to start the second half for Golden State.
