Golden State Warriors Coach Steve Kerr Weighs Future After Playoff Miss
Following the Golden State Warriors' elimination from playoff contention, head coach Steve Kerr is uncertain about his future with the team. The Warriors' season ended with a 111-96 loss to the Phoenix Suns in the play-in tournament. Kerr, a four-time NBA champion coach, suggested that he may leave his role after the team's disappointing campaign. The 60-year-old coach has been with the Warriors for 12 seasons, leading them to the NBA Finals in each of his first five seasons and once since then. He expressed his love for coaching but acknowledged that these jobs have an expiration date and sometimes require new blood and ideas. Kerr will meet with Warriors owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy to discuss the team's plan for the offseason and his potential future with the team. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, the team's constants during Kerr's title runs, want him to return, but Kerr's future remains uncertain. The NBA playoffs begin on Sunday, April 19, with four live games on Sky Sports Action, and the Western Conference Finals will be shown live from May 20.
