Following the Golden State Warriors' play-in loss to the Phoenix Suns, coach Steve Kerr has expressed uncertainty about his future with the team. The four-time NBA champion coach hinted that he might step down from his role after the Warriors' season came to an end. Kerr, who has been with the Warriors for 12 seasons, will meet with team owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy to discuss the team's future and his own role in it. The 60-year-old coach has led the Warriors to multiple NBA Finals appearances and has a 604-353 record with the team.
Despite the support of key players like Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, who want Kerr to return, his future remains uncertain. Kerr's contract has expired, and he has suggested that it may be time for 'new blood and new ideas' with the team. The Warriors' play-in loss marked the end of a disappointing campaign, with Curry scoring 17 points in the 111-96 defeat.
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic secured the 8th seed in the playoffs with a 121-90 win over the Charlotte Hornets, led by Paolo Banchero's 25 points. The 2026 NBA playoffs will begin on Sky Sports this Sunday, with four live games scheduled.
