A long and busy summer, which includes a gold-medal finish in the FIBA World Basketball Championship, is now taking its toll on Andre Iguodala of the Philadelphia 76ers. Iguodala has already missed three games this early in the season because of tendinitis in his right Achilles. He has a tremendous run of 252 consecutive games before sitting out the game against the New York Knicks almost two weeks ago. 76ers head coach Doug Collins says it is important for Iguodala to stay healthy, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.
“I was talking to him [yesterday morning] and he really feels like he's been banged up all season. Whether it's been his wrist or whether it's been his Achilles'. I told him, 'You've got to get yourself right.' There's no reason to come back for one game or two games and not be yourself and then be back out for four or five games or whatever. He's got to get healthy, that's the whole key. I think from his standpoint it's a little disconcerting when you've played your whole career and you've only missed about seven games or so. He told me this morning when we spoke, 'I have not felt good for one game yet this year.'”
