Warriors’ Steve Kerr enters health and safety protocol, Mike Brown to coach in Game 4

With Steve Kerr entering the league’s health and safety protocol, Mike Brown will coach the Warriors in Game 4 on Monday night.

Before he officially takes the whistle for the Sacramento Kings, Mike Brown will have to hold down the Golden State Warriors’ sidelines in the postseason against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Prior to Game 4 on Monday at San Francisco’s Chase Center, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr entered the league’s health and safety protocol after testing positive for COVID-19.

On the same day Brown fill the sideline for Kerr, the longtime Warriors assistant was named the next head coach of the Sacramento Kings. Prior to joining the Kings, Brown will finish the remainder of the postseason run with the Warriors.

Brown is no stranger to coaching the Warriors in the playoffs. The soon-to-be head coach of the Kings coached the Warriors to an 11-0 record in the 2017 NBA playoffs after Kerr missed time due to a back injury. Brown has won two championships with the Warriors as an assistant.

Along with Brown, the Warriors will have to lean on proven veterans like Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and others against the Grizzlies on Monday without Kerr.

Game 4 between the Warriors and Grizzlies is expected to tip off on Monday at 7 p.m. at Chase Center in San Francisco.

Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks expressed contrition for Gary Payton II suffered an injury off his Flagrant Foul 2. But Brooks disputed Steve Kerr’s assertion that he “broke the code.” Brooks also has to reach out to Gary Payton II directly https://t.co/Nq5KHi07Yd pic.twitter.com/d9YVfYMmkk – 5:32 PM

Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Dillon Brooks on his reaction that Steve Kerr said he “broke the code” with his foul on Gary Payton II: “No reaction. I don’t even know what that means in the playoffs. I did not even understand what he meant by that.” Brooks stressed he tried to make a play on the ball – 3:45 PM

Steve Kerr on if the Grizzlies are without Ja Morant (who is listed as doubtful) tonight: “Memphis went 20-5 without him. They’re a hell-of-a-team…We’ll be prepared either way.” – 2:07 PM

Steve Kerr said it’s too early to say how they’ll fill Mike Brown’s upcoming vacancy. Luke Walton and Alvin Gentry are familiar voices. But interesting to see if Warriors look for new voices. In meantime, Brown will continue his assistant coaching duties through rest of playoffs – 2:04 PM

Peter Edmiston @peteredmiston
To me, both coaches have done more than anyone else in cranking up the rhetoric and making this stuff personal. Steve Kerr with the hypocrisy and “code” bullshit w/ self-pitying whiny press conference, Taylor Jenkins insisting that the Morant injury came from Poole’s involvement. – 1:10 PM
Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
Steve Kerr’s perspective vs. Taylor Jenkins’ perspective.
Jenkins says his team is not trying to get caught up in narratives, yet he, Ja Morant, and Jarren Jackson Jr. all insinuated on Saturday that the play was out of line. pic.twitter.com/ZEgmprxrJD – 8:59 PM
