Overview

  • Entering his 12th season, Kerr said he does not expect to negotiate an extension during 2025-26 and is comfortable coaching in a contract year.
  • He cited alignment with owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy and stressed his focus on pursuing another championship.
  • Reporting on Jonathan Kuminga’s status diverged, with AP saying the restricted free agent’s stalemate remained unresolved as Bleacher Report cited Shams Charania saying he is under contract.
  • The Warriors are awaiting the finalization of Al Horford’s signing, according to the Associated Press.
  • Kerr, a four-time NBA champion with a 567-308 regular-season record, begins camp with his son Nicholas newly promoted to the bench as an assistant coach.
