A tough season just got even tougher for Golden State Warriors assistant coach Kenny Atkinson, who is in his first season with the Dubs, following one year on the Los Angeles Clippers bench, which followed four seasons as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.
Prior to Thursday’s road game against the defending-champion Milwaukee Bucks, the Warriors announced that Atkinson had been placed in the health and safety protocols. It’s unclear if Atkinson tested positive for the coronavirus, had a false positive, or was exposed to someone with the virus.
Just as Kenny Atkinson rejoined the other coaches on the bench, Steve Kerr announced Atkinson has entered the H&S protocol.
