Overview
- Kerr told The Athletic Show, “I will never leave Steph Curry,” underscoring a decade-long partnership that has delivered four NBA titles and an Olympic gold.
- He is in the final year of the contract he extended in February 2024, leaving his status a storyline even as he links his future directly to Curry’s.
- Kerr said late-night flights and constant travel are the factor most likely to end his coaching career after the Curry chapter.
- Golden State is 14-15 and eighth in the West after snapping a three-game skid with a 119-116 win over the Suns on Dec. 21.
- Public scrutiny has intensified, including a viral fan email to owner Joe Lacob that Kerr downplayed, while Draymond Green voiced confidence the franchise will stay competitive beyond Curry; last season’s Jimmy Butler addition has not shifted their trajectory since their last conference semifinals appearance in 2022.
