On Uninterrupted's “Open Run” podcast, Warriors coach Steve Kerr vouched for marijuana, putting his voice behind a movement for the NBA to relax or rid the penalties surrounding the drug.
Kerr had surgery in July 2015 to repair a ruptured disk. The operation produced a spinal cord leak that resulted in debilitating, chronic pain in his neck and head. He is still dealing with the condition known as CSF leak — cerebrospinal fluid leak — and was prescribed opioids to manage the pain. But Kerr said he researched his “seven or eight” prescriptions, which included OxyContin and Percocet.
