OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Steve Kerr is returning to the sidelines and is feeling so well that he plans to coach the Golden State Warriors for the remainder of the NBA Finals.
Smiling, cracking jokes and looking more comfortable than he has in recent weeks, Kerr declared himself ready to be back on the bench for Sunday night’s Game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It is the first time he is coaching the Warriors in more than six weeks.
Kerr said he decided Sunday morning that he was able to return to coaching after being sidelined by constant pain because of complications following a pair of back surgeries nearly two years ago.
