Andre Iguodala and the Golden State Warriors had a little fun with teammate Festus Ezeli for April Fools’ Day.
The prank was this: Iguodala went incognito in a nearby vehicle to keep an eye on his teammate. They knew Ezeli would be riding in a Lyft (which had a promotional hand in the video). As Ezeli rode in the backseat—with his driver in on it—teammates texted him.

The driver cued up audio of a local radio show reporting that Ezeli—who is currently out with an injury—would be released, as the Warriors chase a record 73 wins. He was puzzled, to say the least.
Iguodala later popped out with the news.
All in good fun, right?
