Iguodala announced his retirement from professional basketball Friday, Marc Spears of ESPN reports.
The veteran forward played in just eight games last season due to wrist and hip injuries, and he won't attempt to make a return for the 2023-24 campaign. Iguodala, who will turn 40 years old in January, played in 1,231 games across 19 seasons in the NBA, and he averaged 11.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists while spending time with the 76ers, Warriors, Heat and Nuggets.

Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Expected to practice next week
Rotowire
Iguodala (wrist surgery) has been cleared to intensify on-court workouts and should return to team practices in about a week.
Iguodala suffered a fractured left wrist March 13 and underwent a corrective procedure. The veteran wing was given a two-week timetable to return on April 22 but looks to be behind that schedule. Though it seems that Iguodala will be sidelined for the remainder of the Western Conference Semifinals, he could have a shot at returning for the next round if the Warriors advance.

Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Not close to return
Rotowire
Coach Steve Kerr said Wednesday that Iguodala (wrist) is "ways off" from returning and his next update will come on April 21, Kerith Burke of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Iguodala hasn't been able to practice and has been sidelined since March 13 due to a left wrist injury. Unless the Warriors can replicate their championship run from last season, it seems unlikely the veteran forward will be suiting up this postseason.

Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Shut down for regular season
Rotowire
The Warriors announced Iguodala underwent successful surgery on his left wrist Monday and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
The four-week timeline rules Iguodala out for the remainder of the regular season, and because he may need time to regain conditioning once cleared to practice, he could be sidelined for the start of the playoffs as well. When healthy, Iguodala has been a lightly used member of the rotation, so his continued absence shouldn't open up major minutes for any other players.

Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Headed for surgery for broken wrist
Rotowire
Iguodala suffered a fractured left wrist in Monday's 123-112 win over the Suns and is set to undergo surgery, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The Warriors haven't yet provided a timeline for Iguodala's return, but he'll most likely be sidelined for the remainder of the regular season, and it wouldn't be surprising to see his absence extend into the playoffs. Iguodala was averaging minutes in the lower teens for Golden State, so while the Warriors will miss his on-court presence, his absence won't make many ripples in fantasy basketball.

Rotowire

Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Cleared for Saturday

Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Likely to play Saturday
Rotowire
Iguodala is probable for Saturday's game versus the Bucks due to right hip soreness.
Iguodala is expected to play in his fourth straight game Saturday despite dealing with a nagging hip injury. However, he has scored only two total points in his last three outings, so he shouldn't get much fantasy consideration.

Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Poor production continues
Rotowire
Iguodala closed Thursday's 131-110 loss to the Grizzlies with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and two steals over 18 minutes.
Iguodala played in his third straight game, although that's really where the positives end. A shell of his former self, Iguodala is really nothing more than a veteran presence, mentoring the younger players in the locker room. It's hard to see him having any sort of tangible impact, so he should remain on waivers in all formats moving forward.

Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Expected to play Thursday
Rotowire
Iguodala is probable for Thursday's game versus Memphis due to right hip soreness.
Iguodala is likely to suit up for the third straight game despite dealing with a hip injury. However, he is averaging just 1.0 points, 2.5 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 13.0 minutes across his last two appearances, so his status shouldn't mean much from a fantasy standpoint other than siphoning some minutes from other players.

Rotowire

Iguodala played for just the fourth time this season, offering little statistical impact during his 14 minutes on the floor. While he provides the Warriors with a solid veteran presence, he's nowhere close to being a fantasy consideration at this stage of his career.

Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Iguodala (hip) will play Sunday against the Lakers.
This will be just the fourth appearance Iguodala has made for Golden State this season, and considering he's been out since January, he'll likely have some minutes restrictions. He's not a great target in most formats, but his return will likely result in fewer minutes for Anthony Lamb and other frontcourt options.
