San Francisco (AFP) - Steve Kerr, who missed nearly four months as coach of defending NBA champion Golden State to recover from back operations, made his return to the Warriors on Friday.
Kerr, who guided Golden State over Cleveland in last season's NBA Finals in his first season with the Warriors, was set for his first game on the bench Friday night as Golden State was set to host Indiana.
Kerr took a leave of absence on October 1 to focus on rehabilitation and recovery after off-season back surgeries to repair a ruptured disc in July and a follow-up in September due to complications.
