No Kerr as Jazz visit Warriors

GOLDEN State Warriors coach Steve Kerr will miss his team’s second-round NBA playoff opener against Utah today (China time) with no timetable for his return, the team announced on Monday.

Kerr, who guided the Warriors to the 2015 NBA crown and within one game of a repeat last year, missed Golden State’s final two first-round games against Portland due to post-back surgery issues.

Suffering from nausea and pain, Kerr has no timetable for a return, leaving assistant coach Mike Brown, the former coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers, to guide the Warriors into the second round best-of-7 Western Conference matchup against the Jazz, who needed the maximum to oust the Los Angeles Clippers in round one.

“The way we look at it is: Plan on him not coming back,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said. “No. Mike Brown is our coach. We have the rest of our staff and that’s what we’re rolling with.”
