SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors associate head coach Mike Brown was going through his normal pregame preparation when he received a call from the Warriors' head coach Steve Kerr.
Kerr told Brown that he wasn't feeling well and that he might need Brown to coach Game 4 against the Memphis Grizzlies. Thirty minutes later, Kerr registered a positive COVID-19 test and officially gave Brown the reigns for the pivotal game.
It was the latest bump in what was already an emotional day for the Warriors. Earlier that day, the Sacramento Kings announced Brown as the team's next head coach.
