Rumors have swirled that next season could be Steve Kerr's last as head coach of the Golden State Warriors, potentially tied to Stephen Curry's retirement. However, reports indicate Kerr is not going anywhere, as the Warriors want him to remain their head coach for as long as he wants. While the Warriors have struggled this season, Kerr has an impressive resume, including five NBA championships and a gold medal with Team USA.

Why it matters

The details

The Warriors are currently 37-42 and sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference standings, on the brink of potentially missing the playoffs for the first time since 2024. With Stephen Curry and Draymond Green getting older, there has been speculation that Kerr's tenure as head coach could be coming to an end.
