After spending two seasons with the Miami Heat, Iguodala joined the Warriors as a free agent in the 2021 offseason. On the way to his fourth championship ring with the Warriors, Iguodala played 31 games, averaging four points on 38% shooting from the floor with 3.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per contest.
With the late offseason addition of Iguodala, the Warriors have 14 spots filled on their roster heading into training camp. Iguodala will help round out the Warriors’ forward rotation, consisting of players like Andrew Wiggings, Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, JaMychal Green and rookie Patrick Baldwin Jr.
Iguodala and the Warriors will start training camp on Sep. 24 before traveling to Japan for a pair of preseason contests against the Washington Wizards.
