Overview

  • GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. said there is "technically" uncertainty about Kerr’s status and that the team will offer him the grace of the season to assess his mental and physical readiness.
  • Steve Kerr is entering the final year of the two-year contract he signed in February 2024 and does not have a deal that covers 2026–27.
  • Kerr said he is comfortable waiting to see how the year unfolds and indicated he could revisit an extension decision around the All-Star break.
  • Dunleavy emphasized Kerr’s standing with the franchise, saying he can stay as long as he wants and that the organization will proceed on Kerr’s terms rather than push for an immediate agreement.
  • The Warriors have built a veteran, win-now roster with the trade-deadline addition of Jimmy Butler, the re-signing of Jonathan Kuminga, and the signing of Al Horford, as Stephen Curry is under contract through 2026–27 and Draymond Green holds a 2026–27 player option.
