With news of Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr taking a leave of absence due to back surgery, the question arises: can the Warriors survive without him?
First, off we don’t know if the Warriors will or need to survive without Kerr. There’s still a few weeks before the NBA season officially kicks off, so it’s possible Kerr could be back in time for the start of the season.
Also, assistant coach Ron Adams said he only expects Kerr to gone for a couple of days. It’s hard to know what he means by this exactly, but reading between the lines it sounds like Kerr might taking the same approach LeBron James took last year, which is taking a couple of weeks off to make sure he’s completely healthy and ready to roam the sidelines again.
