OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has joined the team in China after flying separately because of a passport delay.
Team spokesman Raymond Ridder said in an email that Kerr arrived early Tuesday local time in Shenzhen, China. After a home preseason opener Saturday night, the Golden State charter plane departed Oakland on Sunday afternoon for two preseason games against Minnesota in China.
A batch of passports were delayed -- at no fault of the Warriors or Kerr -- in being transported back to the team from the East Coast processing center, sources told ESPN's Chris Haynes.
