Andre Iguodala: 'I felt effective in return from hamstring injury'

Andre Iguodala has said that he felt effective during his return from a 12-game layoff with a hamstring injury.

The small forward played a 17-minute spell during the 104-93 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, scoring two points and having two assists.

The 29-year-old told reporters: "I'm kind of protecting myself but I'm getting closer and closer. I still feel effective. I still see things on the court. I still feel like I'm able to let my presence be felt on the game.

"Well just seeing a few holes we had, assist to turnover ratio hasn't been too good the last couple weeks. We wanted to get back to where we were high in assists and low in turnovers, or at least just high in assists.

"So our defense was set the majority of the night and we had a good game plan to try to stop their shooters, so it worked well for us."

The Warriors play the San Antonio Spurs tomorrow.
