I haven't been following Iggy that closely this year. What's going on with him. I checked NBA.com and saw this:

"Update: Iguodala was benched in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Pacers as coach Eddie Jordan chose to attempt a comeback with his best player on the bench. "


He got 0 minutes tonight/last night.

edit:

A little more digging turns up this:
Update: Iguodala has seen his role in the Philly offense reduced significantly since the New Year.
Analysis: The addition of Allen Iverson to the team, coupled with Elton Brand's re-emergence, has demanded that the ball be put in the hands of other players more often. As a result, Iguodala is averaging four fewer shot attempts per game in January (10.9) than he did in December (14.9) and more than five fewer than he averaged in November (16.2). He still has elite assist numbers (6.3 per game in January), but at least one reporter (Kate ***an of the Philadelphia Inquirer) believes his reduced role in the offense has upset Iguodala.

Eddie Jordan could be fired any day now, according to reports. He's desperate to find something that can net a few quick wins and delay the axing. Don't know how smart it is to remove your best player from the court, or, at the very least, the ball from his hands, first because he's your best player, and lastly, because it kills his trade value.

Can't believe they ever hired Eddie Jordan in the first place. I'm tired of re-treads getting NBA head coaching jobs.

Unfortunately it looks like they are going to keep him until the end of the season. They had an article on Realgm about it a week ago.

Adios, Eddie. The 76ers will now begin a search for their 4th coach in THREE seasons...I hear Vinny Del Negro might be looking for work soon, Ed.

Sigh...

I'm so sick of the "Third time's the charm..." mentality.

Larry Brown talk.

Trade Iguodala to a team with talent, he is built to play with a super star.
