Andre Iguodala Appointed Acting Executive Director of NBA Players Union Following Tamika Tremaglio's Resignation

Andre Iguodala's transition into leadership role comes after his recent retirement, bringing a wealth of business experience as he has launched his own venture capital firm and co-owns the Tomorrow Golf League; his tenure begins amid stability with a new Collective Bargaining Agreement in place until 2029-30 season.

  • Andre Iguodala has been appointed as the Acting Executive Director of the NBA Players Union following the sudden resignation of Tamika Tremaglio who had been in the position since January 2022.
  • Prior to this role, Iguodala had a 19-year career in NBA where he won four championships with Golden State Warriors and also served on the NBPA’s executive committee, providing him with experience in player advocacy and negotiation.
  • Iguodala's appointment came as a surprise, as Tremaglio had recently engaged in active discussions about attending the Paris Olympics in her capacity as executive director and had also made plans to visit teams across the league.
  • Iguodala, who has significant business experience with a venture capital firm and co-ownership of the Tomorrow Golf League, is expected to leverage his understanding of business and player concerns to grow the union and safeguard players' interests.
  • Iguodala will direct the union under a stable environment, as a new collective bargaining agreement was recently signed that runs through the 2029-30 season, eliminating the urgency of resolving labor disputes for a significant period.
