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.
