Andre Iguodala available in Game 1 of NBA Finals.

The Golden State Warriors have Andre Iguodala, Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Payton II available for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.

Andre Iguodala has not played this postseason after missing 30 of the last 36 regular-season games because of leg and neck injuries.

Before Game 1, head coach Steve Kerr announced that Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr., and Andre Iguodala are all available to contribute.

The three players worked hard to make themselves available for the NBA Finals.

Game 1 between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics is set to tip-off at 6:00 PST in San Francisco.

All eyes will be on the superstar matchup between Steph Curry and Jayson Tatum.

Payton fractured his left elbow early in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Memphis Grizzlies.

He has missed Golden State's last nine games. The versatile guard also shoots left-handed, and the injury certainly could affect his offense.

But even in spurts, he should be able to make a difference on the defensive of the ball.
