Veteran Warriors Star, Set to Return Ahead of the NBA Playoffs, Shuts Down Stephen Curry’s Haters with Brutal Statement

With Stephen Curry still recovering from his injury, Warriors fans will have something to cheer about as Andre Iguodala looks all set to make his return soon. Iguodala had been dealing with his knee issues, as he suffered swelling in the area. Now, Andre seems healthy after numerous rehabs and recovery periods. 

In the absence of Curry and Iguodala, the Warriors seem to be struggling. Though Steph will return soon, Andre’s plan is to return before the playoffs to get back in rhythm as the Warriors are left with seven games to play. 

The former Finals MVP had some words for the fans. 

Iguodala reminds everyone of Stephen Curry

In a recent interview with The Athletic, Iguodala said that Steph’s value is ignored when he’s not on the floor.

“With Steph out, we’re seeing how valuable he is. It’s always funny. When he’s out, you see how valuable he is and it takes him being out for people to understand what he means to us.”

This is quite true as Steph’s presence alone gives the young guys confidence on the floor. With Iguodala returning, fans will witness the 2015 Golden State Warriors back together.

Even at age 38, Andre is helping the team in all the ways possible.

Can Stephen Curry lead the Warriors to a possible ring this postseason?

Curry’s playoff averages are elite. The last time Steph played in a post-season game was in 2019 when the Warriors took on the Raptors in the NBA Finals. In the 2020-21 season, the Warriors managed to maintain a Play-In position. Though after 2 nail-biting games with the Lakers and the Grizzlies, the Warriors did not make the playoffs.

This time, Steph has his splash brother, Klay Thompson, and improved young talent, Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga. The Warriors might face the Nuggets, Jazz, or the Mavericks. All three of these teams have elite scorers, but can Curry outperform their efforts?
