Following the Golden State Warriors' play-in loss to the Phoenix Suns, coach Steve Kerr is uncertain about his future with the team. The four-time NBA champion coach hinted that he might leave his role after the Warriors' season ended. The team's playoff hopes were dashed with a 111-96 loss, and Stephen Curry finished with 17 points. Kerr shared a heartfelt moment with Curry and Draymond Green, but his future remains speculative due to his current contract expiring.
Curry and Green expressed their desire for Kerr to return, but the coach will meet with the team's owner and general manager to discuss the path forward. Kerr has led the Warriors to the NBA Finals in each of his first five seasons and has a 604-353 record over 12 seasons. The 60-year-old coach will weigh his options, considering his love for coaching and the potential need for new blood and ideas.
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.
