As the leader of the Warriors’ talented second unit, and a strong contender for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award, Iguodala’s injury will surely impact the Warriors’ quest to break the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ single-season record of 72 wins.
“It’s a really big deal,” head coach Steve Kerr said of Iguodala’s injury. “Nobody’s going to replace Andre… He is one of the smartest players I have ever been around.”
Iguodala, who is averaging 9.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game this season, will likely be replaced by Brandon Rush in his absence.
