Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr had a special backdrop behind him when he spoke with reporters on Tuesday night before their game with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Kerr sat in front of a black screen that had the names of the 18 victims in the two latest mass shootings in the United States, both from the Atlanta area last week and from the grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, on Monday.

“I think it’s, first of all, important to reference their names,” Kerr said.
