The staff of Warriors announced that Andre Iguodala’s left wrist surgery was successful. 4 weeks will be needed before finding the floors for the veteran. Il already good chance of missing the beginning of the Playoffs. Well, if Golden State is there, of course.

A last dance that lasted only 8 games for Iguodala, the fault of a season ruined by sores. Operated yesterday, Iggy will be absent from the courts for at least a month.

Pour Golden Statethe loss of Andre Iguodala on the collective level is a blow even if on statistical output stay slim: 2.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists average to 47% in shooting. Despite this, we are talking regarding someone who still has a few good minutes to provide, through his contribution in defense, his knowledge of the Dubs systems, his leadership and his immense experience. We are talking regarding one of Steve Kerr’s locker room managers.
With a month of recovery, that brings us roughly to April 20, right in the first round of the Playoffs. What hope to see Iggy once more on a floor before the end of his career. Of course, for that, Golden State must pass the cut in the West. Currently sixth, the Warriors are still fighting to validate a place in the Postseason.
To finish his career on such a season would be really ugly for Iggy. By extending to Golden State this year, the winger had warned that it would probably be his last stand. Drafted in 2004, he will thus put an end to 19 years of loyal service in the Great League. Under the jersey of SixersNuggets, Warriors, Grizzlies or Heat, his presence in a workforce has always been honored by his teammates. Considered as the role player parfait he knew how to be regular, cantankerous in defense and can even take responsibility in the clutch. Will we see him once more in April before his big departure? The race once morest time is on.
