Andre Iguodala's No. 9 Jersey to Be Retired by Warriors; Won 2015 NBA Finals MVP

Andre Iguodala is set to become the seventh player to have his number retired by the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors will retire Iguodala's No. 9 after a home game against the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 23, the team announced Tuesday.

Iguodala reached six NBA Finals, earned the 2015 NBA Final MVP award and won four championships with the Warriors. He played seven seasons over two separate stints with the franchise before retiring after his 19th NBA season in 2023.

The Warriors acquired Iguodala in a sign-and-trade deal in July 2013. He went on to play a key role in the Warriors' run to the 2015 title, defending LeBron James to help the franchise earn their first championship since 1975.

Iguodala retired as one of the most productive postseason competitors in Warriors history, ranking top-five in assists, steals and three-pointers made through 111 playoff games with the franchise.

"Andre will go down as one of the smartest, shrewdest and most unique and successful players ever to wear a Warriors uniform," Warriors CEO Joe Lacob said in a statement. "We thought all of that could be true when we acquired him in 2013, but the reality—four titles, six Finals appearances, a Finals MVP—exceeded even our wildest imaginations.

"He was the perfect player and person at the perfect time for our team, and the sacrifice he made in coming off the bench in 2014 sent a message that he came here to help us do one thing: win. The proof is in the rafters, and his number belongs alongside the banners he helped us raise."

The Warriors have previously retired six numbers. Iguodala is now set to join Wilt Chamberlain's No. 13, Tom Meschery's No. 14, Alvin Attles' No. 16, Chris Mullin's No. 17, Rick Barry's No. 24 and Nate Thurmond's No. 42 in the rafters at Chase Center.

Iguodala is the first, and won't be the last, member of the Warriors roster that won four titles between 2015 and 2022 to see his number retired by the franchise. Klay Thompson's No. 11, Draymond Green's No. 23, Kevin Durant's No. 35 and Stephen Curry's No. 30 are candidates for the honor following the conclusion of their NBA careers.

The Mavericks and Warriors tip off at 3:30 p.m. ET. Thompson, who was also with the Warriors for all four title runs before joining the Mavs ahead of the 2024-25 season, is set to be in attendance for Iguodala's jersey raising.
