Warriors' Kerr talks about his rare spinal fluid leak

OAKLAND -- Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed that a rare spinal fluid leak resulting from his first offseason back surgery is the cause of continuing headaches that forced him to take a leave of absence.

Eleven days after the Warriors announced Kerr would temporarily step aside to focus on rehabilitation, he gave his first interview Sunday and detailed why he doesn't know when he will return to coach the team."The leak is fixed, but still getting some symptoms," Kerr said of his follow-up surgery early last month. "And that's why I'm out."And because I'm still having symptoms, it makes it difficult for me to be on the floor.
