Warriors' Iguodala fined $10K for inappropriate postgame comments
Golden State Warriors swingman Andre Iguodala has been fined $10,000 for making inappropriate comments during a postgame interview, the league announced Monday.
Iguodala let his frustrations get the best of him following Friday night's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, offering several pointed answers to the media.
"What would a dumb (expletive) say? Just play harder. Figure it out. Change gonna come. Ain't that what we used to say? Change gonna come," Iguodala said.
Iguodala also appeared to take a shot at Steve Kerr after learning that the Warriors bench boss planned to rest the team's star players for Saturday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs.

"We taking tomorrow off? (I had) no clue. Do what master say," Iguodala said.
The 33-year-old later clarified that he was only joking, and Kerr revealed that he didn't view the comments as a personal attack.
"Andre is one of those guys who likes to stir the pot, and has a lot of cryptic messaging at times, jokes around," Kerr said. "I didn't take anything from it. It's just Andre being Andre."
Iguodala is averaging 6.7 points, four rebounds, and 3.4 assists this season.
