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

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.
