Overview
- Reports Wednesday from NBA insider Jake Fischer said Golden State prefers a new multi-year deal for Steve Kerr and wants to avoid a one-season 'last dance' setup.
- The Warriors are locked into the 10th seed and will enter the Play-In Tournament, where they must win two games to reach the playoffs.
- No agreement is in place, and multiple outlets note that the team’s play-in and potential postseason run could sway contract talks.
- Fischer also referenced recent season-ending injuries to Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody and said the hope is for quick recoveries for 2026–27.
- Kerr is in the final year of a two-year, $35 million extension signed in February 2024, and a longer deal would keep him aligned with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green’s stated plans to play a few more years.
