Andre Iguodala rounding into form for Warriors
The Warriors forward has an achy back, creaky knees and a nagging hamstring injury.
Iguodala has shot 5-of-10 from three-point range over his past two games, a far cry from the 24-percent clip (6-of-25) he owned over his previous 12.
“Now his shot looks like they’re coming,” head coach Steve Kerr said before Golden State’s home game Wednesday night against the Lakers.
Iguodala was the leader of Golden State’s much-heralded second unit the past two seasons, a plus-minus master who was named MVP of the 2015 NBA Finals.
Kerr has started staggering his substitution patterns to ensure that at least two of his core players are on the floor at all times, an approach that reduced Iguodala’s scoring responsibility.
