Phoenix — Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Friday night he is uncertain about his future after the Warriors were eliminated from the play-in tournament following a loss to the Suns. Kerr said he will take time to decompress and will meet with team leadership, noting that 'these jobs all have an expiration date.' The postgame moment included an embrace between Kerr, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, and Kerr indicated he will consult with controlling owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy in the next week or two. Kerr, who completed his 12th season with a 604-353 coaching record and guided USA Basketball to Olympic gold in 2024, has an expiring contract and did not pursue an extension this season.
