“Incredible tonight”: Steve Kerr heaps praise on Trayce Jackson-Davis after impressive performance in win vs San Antonio Spurs

The Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has heaped praise on young center Trayce Jackson-Davis.

The 24-year-old was influential for the Warriors as they registered a much-needed win against the San Antonio Spurs with a score of 112-102 at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.

Kerr, after the match, heaped praise on the youngster who according to him was ‘incredible’ on the night for the winning team.

“He [Jackson-Davis] was incredible tonight at both ends,” said Kerr. “His paint presence, rim presence, 11 boards, also had five assists. Obviously, the great dunk near the end. Trayce is really giving us a different dynamic from that spot, and it's really fun to see him growing and developing.”

Not only the head coach but Jackson-Davis’ teammate and veteran point guard Chris Paul was also full of praise for the youngster, who according to him has become a ‘huge element’ of the team.

“Trayce ... man,” he said. “Trayce such a huge element to our team because we have so much shooting and ball movement. But his ability to play above the rim unlocks everything for me, too.”

Jackson-Davis ended up registering 13 points to go with 10 rebounds and five assists for the winning team, including a sublime dunk over Spurs star Victor Wembanyama.
