Assistant coach Dejan Milojević and Kevon Looney, #5 of the Golden State Warriors, talk before the game against the Los Angeles Lakers during the Western Conference Semifinals in the 2023 NBA Playoffs at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on May 6, 2023.
The National Basketball Association said a second Golden State Warriors game has been postponed after the team's assistant coach Dejan Milojević died earlier this week.
ESPN will instead broadcast the Brooklyn Nets versus Los Angeles Lakers Friday night.
"We are absolutely devastated by Dejan's sudden passing," said Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr in a press release.
Milojević was in his third season on the Warriors' coaching staff, including the team's 2022 NBA Championship run.
