After four months without basketball, players returned to the court for scrimmages prior to the NBA’s much-anticipated restart.
Although the Golden State Warriors are on the outside of the Orlando Bubble, several former members of the Bay Area basketball team will be on display at Disney World.
After helping push the Warriors to five consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, Andre Iguodala will be apart of the Miami Heat’s stretch run. Alongside Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro, the former Golden State Warriors forward suited up for a scrimmage against the Sacramento Kings.
In the Heat’s scrimmage, Iguodala tallied 11 points on 3-of-6 shooting with two rebounds, an assist and a steal in 20 minutes. In Miami’s 104-98 victory, Iguodala took a page out of Steph Curry’s book, hitting a pair of 3-pointers. Duncan Robinson led the way for the Heat, scoring 18 points on 5-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc.

Heading into the Bubble, Erik Spoelstra’s squad sits as the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, 2.5 games back from the third-seeded Boston Celtics. The former Golden State Finals Most Valuable Player and the Miami Heat play their first official game in the Orlando Bubble on Aug. 1 against the Denver Nuggets.
Iguodala will be one of 12 former members of the Golden State Warriors in action in Orlando.
