I caught up with Warriors forward Andre Iguodala on if this will be his final NBA season. Andre: “We’ll wait until we see how it ends. It can go either way with wins or losses. I know my answer. But I don’t want to put it out in the world.” https://t.co/dpWyskuF3C pic.twitter.com/hJn6Y0E9eK – 11:14 PM
