Steph Curry: Warriors to ‘carry the spirit’ of Dejan Milojević in return to the court | NBA Today

The Warriors they returned to the court tonight after a 9-day break from games a week ago today Warriors assistant coach Deon maloit died after suffering a heart attack at a team dinner in Salt Lake City The Warriors they then canceled their next two games to allow the entire

Team time to grieve and the Warriors they’re going to honor movich with a DM patch on their uniforms for the rest of the season so now we welcome in our reporter covering the Warriors Kendra Andrews Kendra how are the Warriors just trying to to navigate mourning this loss

While also knowing that they’re going to have to play yeah Malika it’s it’s going to be an ongoing process through the rest of the year but the past three days the Warriors have really tried to make that transition back to basketball but they’re keeping the movich family very

Close by as they do so Steve curis said that Dario sarich who’s known Dey for longer than anyone on the team has been instrumental in helping support dei’s family and also his son Nicole was actually at the Warriors facilities yesterday I saw him out on the Main

Court with Klay Thompson helping him out rebounding for clay so the Warriors are still trying to maintain a very tight-knit familial environment as they make the transition back to playing games and here’s what Steph Curry had to say about making that transition particularly with tonight’s

Game he tried to find ways to carry the spirit that deck he had and uh and lived every single day into how you move forward and that’s what we’ve tried to do the last two days days you know with the whole group together getting back to you know practice and the routine of

Of our season now Malika what makes this even more challenging is the Warriors have not been playing up to their standard so far this season right the last game they played before malic’s death was an embarrassing loss to the Memphis Grizzlies that game could be added to a

Long list of worst losses of the year for this team so now the Warriors are tasked with not only do doing what they’ve been trying to do all season which is just search for answers get out or at least get into the play in tournament they’re 12th in the west

Right now doing all of that while also now navigating these raw emotions and feelings that no one saw coming and it’s a really really difficult balance for them to strike yeah absolutely the Warriors they take on the Atlanta Hawks tonight Kendra Andrews thank you so very
