After a 3-game playoff COVID hiatus, Golden State's Steve Kerr has cleared the NBA's infection protocol and returned Sunday to his head coaching duties with the Warriors.
In his absence, assistant coach Mike Brown stepped in to go 2-1 and lead Golden State to the Western Conference finals where they will face Sunday's Game 7 winner between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns.
Without Kerr's steady at hand at the helm, the Warriors were out of synch, particularly during a 134-95 blowout Game 5 loss to the resilient Memphis Grizzlies. Kerr, who is fully vaccinated, said he suffered from mild symptoms including a cough. He began felling out of sorts after Game 3 and tested positive just hours before Game 4's tip-off. He had been wearing a mask during media availability, but like many in the Bay Area, the precaution wasn't enough.
"It was just kind of my turn," Kerr told NBC Sports Bay Area."It seems like the last couple of years, practically everybody on our coaching staff and our team has had it at some point. It was just my turn, but luckily it wasn't too bad."Thirteen years after he left Davidson one semester short of graduating, the Warriors announced that"13 years after entering the NBA, Stephen Curry is a college grad," the Warriors tweeted.
Ironically, Davidson has a rule not to retire a former player's number if they have not earned a degree. Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
