Tragedy in the North American professional basketball league NBA: The Golden State Warriors are mourning the loss of their assistant coach Dejan Milojevic, who died suddenly on Wednesday at the age of just 46.
As the San Francisco team announced, the Serbian died of a heart attack. The Warriors’ game against Utah Jazz on Wednesday evening (local time) has now been cancelled.
“We are devastated by Dejan’s sudden death,” said head coach Steve Kerr: “Dejan was not only an outstanding basketball coach, but also one of the most positive and wonderful people I have ever known.”
As the Warriors previously announced, Milojevic was hospitalized after a “medical emergency” during a team dinner in Salt Lake City on Tuesday evening.
Milojevic has been Kerr’s assistant at the Warriors since 2021, with whom he won the NBA title in 2022. Previously, as head coach, he won the Serbian Cup (2016) with Mega Basket from Belgrade and the double in Montenegro (2021) with Buducnost Podgorica.
As a player he was an attacker of international class and became European champion with Serbia and Montenegro in 2001. Wearing the jersey of Partizan Belgrade, he was MVP of the Adriatic Basketball League (ABA) three times in a row (2004 to 2006) with the teams from the former Yugoslavia. (cat/AFP)
