Harrison Barnes had no ill effects from his first practice in a month, Warriors coach Mark Jackson told reporters after Wednesday’s shootaround.

Jackson still wouldn’t say if Barnes was playing tonight against Minnesota, calling him a game-time decision. But all reports after his practice on Tuesday were good, Jackson said.

The remaining question appears to be whether Barnes gets in game shape by playing in games, or does he wait until he is in game shape to play in games. In Tuesday’s practice at Temple University’s gym, Barnes went extra hard, running drills and scrimmaging 3-on-3 despite Golden State having a light practice.

Andre Iguodala is noticeably mild mannered. His speech is monotone and his face rarely shows emotion save for the occasional smile. So when he said, so matter-of-factly, he didn’t put much stock in playing against his former team, it actually sounded believable.

Mark Jackson didn’t buy it. And the way Iguodala played, it was clear this was a big game for the ex-76er.

In his second game back in Wells Fargo Center, Iguodala got his first win, torching Philadelphia for 32 points in 32 minutes. He knocked down 7 of 11 from 3-point range, a career-high.

“Its no secret. You want to kill ‘em,” coach Mark Jackson said of the mindset playing former teams. “You say all the right things before hand just in case it doesn’t work out. But the mindset is to make a statement.”

The knock on Iguodala, when he was traded out of Denver, was that he wasn’t a reliable scorer because he couldn’t shoot. Many said he was ill-positioned as the 76ers’ go-to guy.

So it seemed a little redemptive for Iguodala to light it up, especially with his outside shot.

“It does feel good,” Iguodala said after the game, “but I wasn’t trying to prove anything.”

Iguodala didn’t just stay out there. He showed off his full arsenal. He threw down a couple of thunderous dunks, one a beyond-half-court lob from Curry. He also provided the highlight of the night: an around-the-back, mid-air pass from the 3-point line to a cutting David Lee for a layup.

“I’ve made some crazy passes before,” Curry said. “I don’t know how he even thought to do it. All the way at the 3-point line in the corner, he had to catch it in air and sling it at the same time. On target. That was pretty special.”

Point guard Stephen Curry recorded his second-career triple double. But the star of the show in Golden State’s 110-90 win over Philadelphia was Andre Iguodala.

He had his breakout performance as a Warrior against his former team, totaling 32 points in just over 32 minutes. He made a career-high seven 3-pointers, in 11 attempts.

The 76ers came into the game 3-0, with impressive wins over Miami and Chicago. Carter-Williams was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week after averaging 20.7 points, 9.0 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 4.33 steals in his first three games. He was the first rookie to nab the honor in the first week since Shaquille O’Neal.

But by the time Golden State was done with the 76ers, they looked like the team most picked to finished at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. By the time Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson got done with him, Carter-Williams looked like a rookie who needs time to develop.

Warriors forward Harrison Barnes took part in shootaround. He even got some one-on-one action in. Now the plan is to see how his inflamed left toe will respond.

Barnes has been ruled out for tonight’s game against the 76ers. He is expected to participate fully in Tuesday’s practice. It’s looking like he could suit up for Wednesday’s game at Minnesota. The question is whether he can get into game shape in the games. If he can, he’ll take the court sooner. Otherwise, he’ll need more practices and more private work to get ready.

Step one, though, is seeing how his toe responds.

On the other hand, Jermaine O’Neal, who missed Saturday’s game against Sacramento, will be available tonight. O’Neal said the game against the Clippers, someone fell directly on O’Neal’s foot and bruised it. It was still sore Saturday, but he said he just needed one more day.

While he is available, his limits may be limited. Philadelphia’s rotation might prompt Mark Jackson to go with a small lineup. Spencer Hawes, the 76ers starting center, spends a lot of time on the perimeter. The only true inside man in their rotation is Lavoy Allen, but he’s averaging just 18 minutes off the bench.

With an outside shooting center and a slashing power forward in Thaddeus Young, you might see more David Lee at center and Draymond Green at power forward.

Michael Carter-Williams has taken the NBA by storm. He’s led Philadelphia to a 3-0 start with some crazy numbers: 20.7 points on 46.8 percent shooting (including 8 of 17 from 3) with 9.0 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists.

He’s got an offensive rating of 122 and a defensive rating of 99.

“He’s a big-time talent,” Jackson said. “His size. He’s shooting the basketball much better than he did in college. I liked him in college. He’s off to an outstanding start in his career.”

After taking seven shots in the first loss of the season, guard Klay Thompson took a game-high 17 shots. He made 10 of them en route to 27 points as the Warriors beat the Kings 98-87.

Through the first three games, Thompson has been the Warriors’ most important player. It’s a small sample size, and two of the teams were pretty bad, but when he’s on Golden State is just much more dynamic.

“I’m just taking my time and being more patient,” Thompson said I thought I had the skills last year, but this year I’m not just going at one speed and not rushing.”

The Warriors finished the rivalry swing 2-1 and now head out on a four-game road trip that will really test the hype. But before that, you need to relive Saturday’s game through this rewind. …

Klay Thompson, who scored 38 points in the opener, took just seven shots against the Los Angeles Clippers. Charles Barkley said if he had scored 38, the next game he would’ve taken seven shots in the first five minutes of the game.

Thompson, in hindsight, leans towards Barkley’s reasoning.

“Yeah, that’s inexcusable to take only seven shots,” Thompson said after Saturday’s shootaround. “At least get up 10. I’m out there to be a threat and I’m not that much of a threat if I’m only taken seven shots.”

The Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s NBA Development League affiliate, announced Friday they acquired Seth Curry, as expected.

The younger brother of Warriors Stephen Curry was planning to join the Santa Cruz team if he didn’t make the team. Seth Curry, Dewayne Dedmon and Joe Alexander all were designated for Santa Cruz under the affiliate rule, which allows teams to assign players who were cut from training camp.

But that’s not all. According to a source with knowledge of the move, the D-League Warriors also acquired Mychel Thompson, the brother of Golden State guard Klay Thompson. That means Santa Cruz will feature brothers of the Splash Brothers.

Mychel Thompson — the older brother of Klay had a cup of coffee with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2011-12 — spent most of last season with D-League team in Sioux Falls. He averaged 12.2 points and shot 35.8 percent from 3.

Warriors forward Harrison Barnes will not play Saturday’s game against visiting Sacramento, a team source confirmed.

Clearly, his left toe inflammation still isn’t healed enough for action. Barnes hasn’t played since an Oct. 7 preseason game against the Kings. He hasn’t practiced with the team since either.

No timetable has been set for Barnes return. He’s listed as day-to-day. Coach Mark Jackson announced on Tuesday he would miss the first two games and be re-evaluated. Jackson said the goal is for the injury to completely heal so the issue doesn’t linger.

The team hasn’t revealed the details of Barnes’ injury — such as what’s causing the inflammation, how it happened, how its being treated or how long Barnes could be out — which is usually up to the player.

The Warriors’ bench could certainly use Barnes, who Jackson said will be the sixth man when he’s healthy. Golden State’s second unit has struggled to score the first two games.

You could see it in their eyes. You could hear in their voice, as they talked through clinched teeth and bit their tongue.

The Warriors don’t like the Clippers. And they were mad at themselves for not bringing their best against bullies from down south, losing 126-115 at Staples Center.

“We had no business in this game,” coach Mark Jackson said. “But we fought. We battled. We hung in there. We just couldn’t get over the hump.”

The Warriors turned the ball over 25 times, something they knew was a no-no against the transition savvy Clippers. Their miscues, including a career-high 11 by Curry, helped the Clippers rack up 22 fast-break points.

The Warriors were beat down the glass, had a tough time staying attached to the Clippers’ shooters and had zero answer for Chris Paul. He torched the Warriors for 42 points, 15 assists and six steals in 37 minutes.

Yet, with six minutes left in the fourth quarter, Golden State was down just eight. Victory was close enough to smell, and not grabbing it left a bitter taste.

“Certain teams kind of have that edge about them, for whatever reason,” Andre Iguodala said. “They’re kind of one of those teams. Even playing in Denver last year, it was the same chippiness. So we kind of have to be smart about it. Neither team has really done anything for it to really be a rivalry. Somebody has to establish something. So we’ve got to stay focused on the path ahead.”

Dec. 25 in Oakland. Jan. 30 in Oakland. March 2 in Los Angeles.

Those are the remaining regular season match-ups between the Warriors and Clippers. After Round 1 of the season series, which the Clippers won 126-115, you’ll want to see the next three. This is shaping up to be one of the most heated rivalries in the NBA.

“Both teams don’t really like each other,” Clippers guard Chris Paul said. “It is what it is.”

Certainly, Thursday’s game refreshed the bad blood between these franchises. It began last season, when Golden State took three of four against Los Angeles. The Warriors were the only team with three victories over the Clippers, who won 56 games last season, one of them a 21-point drubbing at Oracle.

The Clippers took exception to the Warriors’ celebration antics during their victories. Once at Oracle Arena, Golden State’s bench went exploded with hysterical laughter after Clippers forward Blake Griffin clanked a 3-pointer off the side of the backboard in Oracle. Another time, a few Clippers expressed dislike of Curry’s galloping down court after a big three-pointer late in a Warriors’ win.

New head coach Doc Rivers stoked those flames.
