In fact, Andre Iguodala dropped something of a bombshell on Tuesday when he said the Warriors knowingly downplayed the significance of his injury when his status for the 2018 Finals was in doubt, saying that Iguodala was dealing with a "bone bruise" when in fact his leg was fractured. Have a listen. It's pretty damning stuff.

Players usually don’t do that.
It worked out well for Kawhi but Iggy is at an age where he probably can’t do that and end out on top.
More players will probably start to do it now that they see how things can go when they come back too early.

i doubt anyone held a gun to KD or Klay's head. they wanted to be out there. i certainly hope they weren't misled in any way.
i can't speak for the nba but in the nhl there have been numerous instances where the players have put pressure on the medical staff. i can't think of too many that were the other way around.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

misleading the fan base, media, coaching staff, and most importantly other players in that locker room who all will then put more pressure on the player to come back too soon.

It's always seemed pretty obvious to me that they would lie to the media about the injury athletes have in order to keep the other teams (and the fans guessing). I thought they would be honest about it internally though. Looks like I was wrong on that second part.
Iggy kept it a buck in the interview. Said the Warriors have priced out their real fans.

Support of durant saying he cant play.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt to kee toronto guessing about how to gameplan, but that needed to be communicated to KD.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
