Here’s why Wednesday’s Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz game is postponed

The NBA is postponing Wednesday night’s Warriors and Utah Jazz game out of respect for the Warriors. Here’s why.

An expected NBA Western Conference matchup will have to wait. The NBA is postponing Wednesday night’s Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz game following a serious medical situation involving Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojević.

Milojevic, who joined head coach Steve Kerr’s staff in 2021 and has strong ties to fellow Serbian Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets, was out to dinner with players and other players when he suffered a medical episode. Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne, Milojevic has been reportedly hospitalized and updates will be given when available.

The game, originally slated for a 9:00 p.m. ET tip-off at Delta Center, will be rescheduled for a later date.

Update: Milojevic died at 46 years old after being hospitalized, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Wednesday.
