Steve Kerr agrees to a two-year deal to continue coaching the Warriors, AP source says
- Steve Kerr has agreed to a two-year contract extension to remain head coach of the Golden State Warriors, sources told ESPN, maintaining his status as the highest-paid coach in the NBA.
- Since taking over in 2014, Kerr has guided the franchise to four NBA titles in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022, holding a career coaching record of 604-353 over his 12-year tenure.
- The extension signals the team intends to contend again with Stephen Curry , Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green , all on expiring contracts in 2026-27.
- Managing significant injuries to Butler and Curry, the Warriors finished 37-45 this season; general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. must now address roster deficiencies to remain competitive in the Western Conference.
- Three weeks of negotiations preceded the agreement, ending speculation that Kerr might step down; his return secures leadership stability as the franchise evaluates its future beyond the next two seasons.
