The defending champion Golden State Warriors will be without their head coach for an indeterminate period, as Steve Kerr has opted to take a leave of absence to rest and recover from back surgery.
Kerr went under the knife in late July to repair a herniated disc, and required follow-up surgery in early September. The Warriors are unsure when Kerr will return, and say the length of his absence will be based on his recovery progress.
"After the first two days of training camp, I realized I need to take a step back and focus on my rehabilitation in order to be ready for the grind of another NBA season," Kerr said. "As I noted last week, my summer was difficult and no fun due to the multiple back surgeries. At this point, I simply want to get healthy and back to my normal daily routine on and off the court.""After the first two days of training camp, I realized I need to take a step back and focus on my rehabilitation in order to be ready for the grind of another NBA season," Kerr said.
