Assistant Coach Dejan Milojevic was hospitalized after experiencing a dramatic health emergency while he was having dinner with his team, the Golden State Warriors, in a local restaurant of Salt Lake City. The NBA has posponed tonight's Warriors-Jazz game due to a "medical emergency in the Warriors family."
46 year-old Coach traveled with the rest of the squad for the scheduled matchup against the Utah Jazz, and was having dinner with the coaches and players when the sudden incident happened.
Milojevic has been working with Steve Kerr and the Warriors organization since 2021. Former professional player and a well-respected coach in the basketball world, he was a valuable member of the coaching staff that led the Warriors to a Championship in 2022.
The Warriors reported that they will provide updates on the coach's status "as appropiate".
