San Francisco — Steve Kerr agreed in principle to a two-year contract to continue coaching the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, according to people familiar with the negotiations. Kerr still must sign the new deal, which was reported first by ESPN and confirmed to the Associated Press by an anonymous source.

This week team officials and ownership will finalize contract details, while the roster and medical staff prepare for offseason evaluations and injury recoveries soon.
