Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr stated he plans to take time to contemplate his future before discussing it with the team's front office. Following the Warriors' elimination from the 2026 NBA playoffs, Kerr indicated he would need a week or two to reflect on his situation.
Kerr, 60, has been the head coach of the Warriors since 2014. Under his leadership, the team has won four NBA championships, with the most recent title coming in 2022. His current contract is set to expire after the 2025-26 season.
The Warriors' season concluded with a loss in the play-in tournament, missing the playoffs for the second time in three years. This has prompted questions about the future direction of the franchise, with Kerr's status being a central topic. General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has expressed a desire for Kerr to return, acknowledging his pivotal role in the team's historic success.
Kerr emphasized that his decision will involve discussions with his family and consideration of his energy and passion for the demanding role. He has not set a definitive timeline for his final decision but confirmed plans for a formal meeting with team ownership and management in the near future.
