SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr found himself on the defensive for not attending a rally in California's capital city after he pledged his organization's support to the family of an unarmed black man killed by police.
Kerr has been outspoken against gun violence but his team held a shootaround Saturday morning before its game against the Sacramento Kings, so the Warriors did not attend a rally led by former Kings and Warriors star Matt Barnes to support Stephon Clark.
"I'm coaching the Warriors tonight and we're kind of busy today," Kerr said before adding, "I think you guys know our team, we're very socially aware and active and we've got a lot of players who do a lot of good in the community and who care about what's going on.
