The Warriors veteran returned to the game in the team's last game against the 76ers and came off the bench to score 2 points and 3 rebounds on 1 of 5 shooting in 11 minutes, but in the Warriors' game against the Pacers on December 14, Beijing time, Iguodala was again absent due to a right knee injury:
Iguodala is also an important veteran player in the Warriors' team, and the team will definitely hope that he will fully recover before the playoffs, after all, his game experience and defensive ability are part of the team's needs.
On the other hand, according to the US media Shams Charania, the Warriors plan to let Klay Thompson return to the game around Christmas, and the team plans to add Thompson's treatment plan next week to check his recovery from injury:
Thompson has missed the entire 2019-20 season due to injuries from ACL tears, and then he missed the entire 2020-21 season due to injuries with a torn Achilles tendon. The good news is that Thompson is still likely to return to the field around Christmas and help the Warriors continue to storm the championship trophy.
Finally, warriors superstar Stephen Curry said in an interview that it will be an invisible pressure to break Ray Allen's three-point record:
"It triggers an extra emotion that I wouldn't call nervousness, it just leads to anxiety throughout the game."
In fact, Warriors coach Steve Kerr also talked about this situation within the Warriors, and Curry's imminent breaking of the all-time three-point record will indeed have an impact on the team's performance. Inevitably, however, Curry will achieve this career achievement in the next few games.
