Right before the injury, KD was playing some of the best basketball of his career. He was averaging 34.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.9 assists through the first 11 games of the 2019 playoffs.
The 2x Finals MVP would be 32 when the 2020-21 season starts, and a lot of people have doubts whether he would be the same when he does. Iguodala has no doubts regarding the same. He believes Durant would be the same dominant force that he had been for the first 12 years of his career.
Andre Iguodala, who plays the veteran role on the Heat would also be looking forward to having a good year. The Heat got outplayed by LeBron James and the Lakers in NBA Finals and would be looking to come back stronger.
