INDIANAPOLIS - Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton doesn’t often answer his cell phone - save for one exception.
“When Steve (Kerr’s) name show up, I make sure to pick that one up,” Walton said before Tuesday’s game against the Pacers.
Walton said he talks nearly every day with Kerr, the Warriors’ head coach, who is taking a leave while recovery from the after effects of two offseason back surgeries. The conversations are often in person when the Warriors are at home as Kerr attends most practices and sits in the coaches’ office during most games at Oracle Arena.
