Prior to joining Steve Kerr’s bench as an assistant with the Golden State Warriors, Dejan Milojevic had a successful career as a player and coach in Europe and his home country of Serbia.
Milojevic spent time playing for the Belgrade-based club Partizan before becoming the head coach of KK Mega Basket in Serbia. On Monday, Milojevic’s two former teams honored him with a special pregame tribute.
