On April 28, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs is in full swing, but injuries are also coming, and many teams are deeply affected. No, the Warriors suffered another blow, and the left cervical disc injury of Iguodala will be absent for a period of time, which also affects the depth of their lineup.
Don't look at Iguodala, who is 38 years old, but he still plays well in the Warriors system and can always make some contributions. In this playoff, he played 3 games, averaged 14.1 minutes per game, handed over 1.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists, and also staged one-handed dunks. I don't know if his injury this time was affected by that dunk. According to a Warriors reporter Anthony Slater update, Iguodala will be re-evaluated for injury next Wednesday, so he will miss this series with the Nuggets.
In response to Iguodala's absence, head coach Kerr also said: "It's a huge loss for us, he's been through everything, he's seen almost everything in his career, he's played countless playoff games for us, we can rely on him in many ways, he's one of our best passers and one of our best defenders. Fortunately, the Warriors have begun to let Cumming add the game before, and the opportunity for these rookies has come, depending on whether he can seize it."
This playoffs are also very tragic, only to the first round, there are a number of players injured, with Iguodala injured, he is the 10th player injured in the first round. The top nine players are, Suns Core Booker, Bucks two-time Middleton, Heat duo Butler and Lowry, Raptors VanVleet and newest rookie Barnes, Eagle Capela, Bulls Caruso, and 76ers core Embiid (torn finger ligaments, not absent from the game).
This is also estimated to be related to this season's schedule, after the epidemic played 82 games for the first time in the season, the players' physical condition may not have been adjusted.
