Struck by the sudden death of their assistant Dejan Milojevic on Wednesday, following a cardiac arrest during a meal with the team, at only 46 years old, the Warriors are in shock. Like the NBA or Serbian basketball.
As the game against the Jazz on Wednesday evening had already been postponed when we learned of the assistant's hospitalization, it became obvious that with his death, the players and coaches of Golden State are not able to play their next game, Friday night against Dallas.
The Warriors don't play again until next Wednesday
“This is a tragic shock to everyone connected to the Warriors and an incredibly difficult time for his family, friends and all of us who had the incredible pleasure of working with him,” said Steve Kerr. “We mourn with his wife, Natasa, and their children, Nikola and Masa. Their pain is unfathomable. »
The NBA therefore logically decided to postpone this meeting as well. With the Warriors' next game scheduled for Wednesday night against Atlanta, this will give the franchise time to recover from this terrible news.
As for the two postponed matches, the league will later announce the dates on which they will be played.
