NBA postpones Warriors game vs. Mavericks on Friday

Following the sudden and tragic passing of Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic, the NBA has postponed another game.

Initially scheduled for Friday evening in Dallas, the Warriors’ game against the Mavericks will be rescheduled. Friday’s contest is the second consecutive Warriors’ game postponed by the NBA. Golden State’s game in Utah against the Jazz, which was scheduled for Wednesday, was also postponed.

Milojevic passed away on Wednesday morning after suffering a heart attack at a private team dinner in Utah on Tuesday evening. The 46-year-old Serbian coach has been on the Warriors sideline for the last three seasons, winning a championship in Golden State in 2022.

The NBA community, including players from across the league, has taken to social media to honor and show support for the Warriors assistant. Luka Donic, Karl-Anthony Towns, Brandin Podziemski and others have used X, formerly known as Twitter, to pay tribute. 

The next game on the Warriors’ schedule is Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks at San Francisco’s Chase Center.
