Iguodala has never missed more than 15 games in a season, and he’s played in every team game in five of his nine full seasons in the NBA. After signing with Golden State in the offseason as a free agent, Iguodala is shooting at a career-high pace in both field-goal percentage (54.5 percent) and three-point percentage (47.9 percent). Iguodala’s deal with the Warriors is worth $48 million over four years, according to Spotrac.
After Friday’s game, Iguodala told reporters he knew the injury was serious when he felt a pop in his left hamstring, and he could not walk on his left leg after limping to the locker room.
