Warriors vs Clippers: Steve Kerr Contract at Stake
The Warriors face a do-or-die play-in game Wednesday that could end their season and coincidentally close out Steve Kerr’s contract, which expires after the year. Despite that pressure, reporting says "there's been no indication of a split" between Kerr and the team, and a source "reiterated recently that nothing has changed and that all sides will communicate openly when the season concludes." Kerr signed a two-year, $35 million extension in 2024, and injuries, including Stephen Curry’s knee trouble, left Golden State stumbling to a 37-45 finish. Merlin sees calm around the castle for now. The front office appears content to wait until the smoke clears before making seismic moves, and a short play-in run would likely soothe nerves. If the Warriors flame out early, conversations will sharpen fast.
