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.

- 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.
