Andre Iguodala shared an interesting nugget during a tell-all interview with The Breakfast Club podcast on Tuesday, including the repercussions of a nasty Game 3 incident, in which minority owner Mark Stevens was seen shoving Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry.
The Golden State Warriors consequently banned Stevens for the remainder of the NBA Finals and next season as soon as he was identified, but Iguodala hinted there might be even more to come for the billionaire.
Via Drew Shiller of NBC Sports Bay Area:
âThere's more to it. It's not just banned for a year from what I heard,â said Iguodala. âThere's more consequences as far as his interest that he invested in the team.
âLike, all that's gonna be gone, too.â
Iguodala isn't the first to hint that Stevens could be forced to sell all of his shares, as some close to the situation believed the Warriors organization was so embarrassed from that incident, that they would undoubtedly take further action behind closed doors.
đ Multiple sources close to the Golden State Warriors tell me Mark Stevens, the minority owner who pushed Kyle Lowry, will likely be forced to sell his shares before the start of next season ⊠#NBAFinals #KyleLowry

Stevens apologized through a statement, but even before he did, Lowry had already expressed he had no intention of speaking with Stevens or hearing an apology, saying he âshowed his true colorsâ that day, when he unnecessary pushed the 6-foot guard.
Stevens owns approximately an 8% stake with his original investment that dates back to six years ago, a figure that would have been likely to bloom with the new state of the art Chase Center in San Francisco.
If Iguodala is right about this, it looks like the Warriors won't have an issue filling that investment with plenty of entrepreneurs lining up to take part of one of the most successful NBA franchises.
