The Golden State Warriors have performed brilliantly well in the absence of their star player Stephen Curry. With the four-time NBA champion set to return very soon, certain players will have limited game time. Take Jordan Poole for example. The youngster has played brilliantly in the absence of Steph but his minutes might reduce after Curry returns. Not only the youngsters but even a very experienced NBA champion might lose his place.

The player in question is none other than Andre Iguodala. The veteran announced that he will be playing a final season with the Warriors but has struggled with injuries. He made his debut against the Orlando Magic very recently but the coach has given a revelation about Iguodala’s place in the team during a press conference.

Coach Steve Kerr talks about Andre Iguodala his minutes

Andre Iguodala is much more than a player currently. He has developed into a player-mentor over the past few seasons very well and provides the much-required experience on the bench.

Now that he is 38 years old and clearly dipping in his game, minutes will be a rarety this season. This was confirmed by Steve Kerr who asserted that the four-time NBA champion will be part of the rotation. Steve Kerr said, “It’s hard to predict minutes, but he’ll definitely be part of the rotation, and we’ll just take it game to game.”

Iguodala returned to action after three months into the season. He stepped onto the court against the Orlando Magic but had a terrible outing. Coming off the bench, he played 12 minutes and had just 2 rebounds and 1 assist as the Warriors lost out to the Magic.

When will Stephen Curry return?

The former MVP injured himself in December playing against the Indiana Pacers. While many thought his injury to be the end of the Warriors’ season, they bounced back phenomenally.

Initially, Curry was set to return on the 13th of January when the Warriors take on the San Antonio Spurs. However, the latest reports have claimed that he has asked to be a part of the game against the Phoenix Suns on the 10th. Despite being a full participant in the training, he is listed as questionable for the game.
