Following the Golden State Warriors' season-ending loss to the Phoenix Suns, coach Steve Kerr expressed uncertainty about his future with the team. The four-time NBA champion coach hinted that he may be considering stepping down after their playoff hopes were dashed.
The Warriors fell 111-96 in the play-in game, with Stephen Curry scoring 17 points in the disappointing finale. Kerr, who has been with the Warriors for 12 seasons and has a 604-353 record, shared an emotional moment with Curry and Draymond Green after the game. When asked about his future, Kerr remained non-committal, stating, 'It might still go on. It may not.' He is set to meet with Warriors owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy to discuss the team's plans for the upcoming season.
Curry and Green both expressed their desire for Kerr to return, but the coach's future remains uncertain. Kerr has been coaching on the final year of his contract, fueling speculation about his potential departure. The 60-year-old coach has led the Warriors to the NBA Finals in each of his first five seasons and has guided USA Basketball to Olympic gold.
The Warriors' season has come to a close, but Kerr's legacy with the team will be remembered for years to come.
