Kerr, Nurse among NBA coaches wondering about Olympic plans

Golden State coach Steve Kerr was supposed to be in Tokyo for the Olympics this summer. And now he's supposed to be there for the rescheduled version next summer.

Then again, Kerr isn't certain if he — or anyone else from the NBA — will be there at all.

With the next NBA season not expected to start until at least Dec. 1, that calls into some serious question whether that could overlap with Olympic qualifying tournaments that some nations will need to endure in June 2021 and the Tokyo Games themselves the following month. And Kerr, who is slated to be an assistant under San Antonio's Gregg Popovich for USA Basketball in Tokyo, said Tuesday that he doesn't have any idea how the schedule will work.
