The 51-year-old Kerr had been out since Golden State’s Round 1 series against the Portland Trail Blazers after suffering a recurrence of health complications from his back surgeries (full details here). The team had gone 11-0 in his absence this postseason with lead assistant Mike Brown at the helm.
Kerr had been making steady progress in the last few weeks and recently said that he plans to coach for a long time, so this is obviously excellent news.
