Andre Iguodala will make his first appearance in San Francisco’s Chase Center on Monday night, but instead of the home sideline — the former Golden State Warriors’ sixth man will be on the opposing bench for the first time in six years.
Iguodala has missed most of the NBA season as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies. However, now with the Miami Heat, he’s back on the court for game action.
Before the NBA trade deadline, Iguodala was moved from Memphis to Miami to come off the bench in Erik Spoelstra’s rotation. In the former Arizona Wildcat’s second game since the trade, he will suit up against his former teammates in the Bay Area.

Reporters at the Warriors’ morning shootaround reminded Green that a flagrant two would trigger an ejection.

Iguodala and Green formed one of the best defensive tandems for six seasons in Golden State, winning three NBA titles. Although the two shared championship memories, How Green handles Iguodala as an opponent will be something to watch.
