He’s back.
Steve Kerr will return to coach the Golden State Warriors on Sunday for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he announced shortly before the game.
Kerr said he intends to remain on the bench for the rest of the postseason.
The former Arizona Wildcat has not coached Golden State since late April due to complications from back surgery, and his return is an encouraging sign for his health, considering his medical condition was once deemed to be career-threatening.
The Warriors have fared well in Kerr’s absence and are three wins from winning their second NBA title in three years.
