Former Warriors forward Andre Iguodala is expected to be named the new acting executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, the organization announced on Thursday. Tamika Tremaglio, the NBPA’s current director, is stepping down from her role following 22 months in the position.
Iguodala officially retired from the NBA in October after 19 seasons in the league, including over a decade on the NBPA’s Executive Committee. While the forward spent eight seasons with the 76ers, he is most known for his role on the Warriors’ four championship teams since 2014.
“In addition to his work on the Committee, Andre has led multiple successful business ventures in his career off the court,” the NBPA said in a statement. “With his experience, Iguodala is well-positioned to have an immediate impact in his role and work tandem with the other members of the EC.”
