Not only will Steve Kerr be the next Team USA coach, I’m told, but Cavs center Jarrett Allen is going to get strong consideration to be on the next team. The World Cup is in 2023 and the Olympics in 2024. – 1:53 PM

Steve Kerr on if Steph Curry was thinking about the record tonight :
“No, I thought Steph took a couple of quick ones early that maybe he was trying to get himself going… The ball just wasn’t going in.” – 2:14 AM

Andre Iguodala is “a possibility” to return for the Warriors tomorrow against the Blazers, per Kerr. Missed the last 10 games. Kuminga/Moody will be in the G-League for two games, but rejoin Warriors for road trip. – 4:52 PM

Steve Kerr on Steph Curry: “It’s hard to even fathom where this (3-pointers) record will stand when he retires. He will obliterate it. … It’s sort of mind-numbing.” – 4:47 PM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Steve Kerr: “I think Steph in a lot of ways is like Michael Jordan because there are so many moments that stand out that they all kind of bleed together. … Maybe that’s the true sign of greatness.” – 4:44 PM
