When head coach Steve Kerr was asked whether walking away from the Warriors after the 2025-26 season was too soon, he was uncertain.
“I didn’t know. I didn’t know until I took those two, three weeks if it was too early. And then after talking to my wife, talking to Mike and Joe and Kirk [Lacob] and really examining what it would look like going forward, I came to the conclusion that, no, it was too early,” Kerr explained. “I still have something to offer.
“And I think the team they have shown that they still want me here, and we still make a really good group. I’m talking about management, players, and coaches. And I’m so excited about this team, this season, our training camp. So I know without a doubt, it’s too soon, but I don’t want to be too late.”
With two years left on his contract with the Warriors, Kerr envisions himself coming back for at least one more season in 2027-28. Then, perhaps retiring alongside the Warriors’ longest-tenured players — Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.
“I signed for two years and I can’t see myself walking away after this year, but it feels now like there’s some shape to this thing,” Kerr said. “There’s some clarity. I could see this ending where Steph, Dray, we all leave around the same time. I could see that happening.”
Kerr will begin his 13th season with the Warriors with an Opening Night matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.
