It sounded like Kerr was poised to miss the remainder of Golden State’s opening round series against Portland, but that may last just one more game. With Kerr’s symptoms showing little improvement, it sounds like he may be out quite a while. Lead assistant Mike Brown will continue to coach the team from the sideline in Kerr’s absence.
