Even though Stephen Curry is back at practice, the team has not confirmed his return to the court yet. It is expected that he will take a week or two to fully recover. Apart from this, the Golden State Warriors also got two bits of great news. Andre Iguodala, a four-time NBA champion, has finally made his debut with the Warriors. Before this, he shared the news on his Point Forward podcast, where he discussed his return to the team and being ready to play on Saturday.

The Warriors will be benefited from his addition as a result of their current league situation. Despite losing with a final score of 101-115 against the Orlando Magic, fans expect more good games to come. He missed 39 games as a result of a hip injury he sustained at the beginning of the season.

Keeping healthy at the age of 38 is particularly challenging if you are representing the Warriors. In addition to embracing his return, the Warriors also welcomed Andrew Wiggins back. An injury to his adductor muscle has prevented him from playing 15 games for the team.

This was followed by a period of illness for him. It was back on December 3 when we last saw him play for the team. His return will be subject to a minutes restriction, reports ESPN’s Kendra Andrews. In the wake of hearing the news, the Warriors star could not contain his excitement.
