NBA star Andre Iguodala went on “The Breakfast Club,” to promote his new book when the conversation steered towards the Golden State Warriors and the injuries the team suffered during the postseason that ultimately cost them a real shot in defending their title against the Toronto Raptors.
While talking about Durant and what happened to him, Iggy also revealed that he also felt the pressure to get back on the court during the playoffs last year after team doctors seemingly lied about what his injury actually was.
“Everyone is feeding stuff in our heads. Last year it happened to me. I missed last three games in the Houston series that went to game 7 and we barely got out of the series and guys were looking at me like when are you coming back? And I had a fractured leg and it’s being put out there like I got a bone bruise and it was fractured, SO I’m fighting with the team and I’m fighting with media and my teammates asked me every day, how you feeling? Like K(Durant) he was getting from everybody too asking him how you feeling?”
That makes a ton of sense to the report that came out from Bleacher Report that revealed Durant is “really pissed at the Warriors” with how they handled his injury.
“Questions that linger over whether the strained calf led to the Achilles injury, and if the Golden State Warriors made him aware of that possibility, remain unanswered. But the indication from several league sources is that Durant is not happy with the team, and the presumption is that it stems from whatever role Warriors officials played in his decision to suit up. Coach Steve Kerr says he was told Durant could not further injure himself by playing, which obviously proved not to be true. If Durant was told the same, it would give credence to the notion that, as one league executive claims, “He’s really pissed off at the Warriors.”
This is a terrible look for the Warriors who might end up paying for their decision big time if Durant does leave in free agency.
