The off-court changes have continued at the Golden State Warriors, with the franchise addressing their coaching personnel after the major loss of one of Steve Kerr’s top assistants in Jama Mahlalela.
Mahlalela chose to return to the Toronto Raptors last month after two years with the Warriors including the 2022 NBA championship. It was viewed as a ‘big loss’ for Golden State with the 43-year-old seen as a future NBA head coach.
The Golden State Warriors have chosen to replace the loss of Jama Mahlalela from within, promoting long-time employee Kris Weems.
According to NBC Sports’ Monte Poole on Sunday night, the Warriors have chosen to move Kris Weems from a player development position to a front of the bench assistant alongside Kerr.
