OAKLAND — At times this season, after a defensive mistake or bad turnover, Kevin Durant would look over toward the sideline and see Steve Kerr, head in his hands, and think the coach was furious with what just transpired on the court.
“Then I’d look back when we’d make a great play and he’d look the same,” Durant said.
Kerr’s post-surgery symptoms — of which precede Durant’s arrival in the Bay Area — continue to plague the Warriors’ head coach, worsening over the past week and now extending his indefinite playoff absence beyond the first round.
Kerr wasn’t at Warriors practice on Wednesday, their first in preparation for Round 2.
