Following the Golden State Warriors' play-in loss to the Phoenix Suns, head coach Steve Kerr is contemplating his future with the team. The Warriors' season came to a close on Friday night with a 111-96 defeat, marking the end of their playoff hopes.
Kerr, a four-time NBA champion coach, suggested that there is a possibility he might leave his role, stating 'it might still go on. It may not.' The 60-year-old coach has just completed his 12th season with the Warriors, boasting an impressive 604-353 record.
He expressed his uncertainty about his future, stating that he will meet with Warriors owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy to discuss the path forward. Kerr's players, including Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, have voiced their desire for him to stay, but his future remains uncertain. The coach acknowledged that 'these jobs all have an expiration date' and that 'sometimes it's time for new blood and new ideas.' The NBA playoffs are set to begin on April 19, with the Warriors not participating. Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic secured the 8th seed in the playoffs with a 121-90 win over the Charlotte Hornets.
