Andre Iguodala played just 31 regular-season games for the Warriors last season. He averaged 4.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. He played seven games in the playoffs and won the ring for the fourth time. While he did not play many games last season, his presence in the locker room is something which is very valuable for the Warriors.
On his podcast, “Point Forward,” along with Evan Turner, who retired from the NBA after the 2019-20 season, Iguodala announced that he will be returning to the league. He said:
Andre Iguodala credited many people in Golden State for returning to action. Iguodala is a veteran of the league and played a big role in some of Warriors’ previous championships, notably winning the Finals MVP in 2015. Iguodala continued:
What will Andre Iguodala do differently in his final season?
With Evan Turner, Iguodala also spoke about his process so far in the NBA – which involved being entirely focused on the game. He’s traveled overseas multiple times, but it’s always been for basketball. This did not give him the chance to enjoy the city life. Iguodala referenced the late Kobe Bryant to drive his point, he said:
However, given the team Andre Iguodala is representing, and the fact that they’re defending a championship, he knows that he cannot leave his competitive self at the door.
Andre Iguodala’s dedication for the game is encouraging to say the least. With almost two decades of experience in the NBA, the young players will really learn a lot from the veteran.
