SAN ANTONIO – The somber mood permeated the Warriors’ morning shootaround with their stoic facial expressions and soft words for obvious reasons. The Warriors mourned the passing of Erin Popovich, the wife of Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, an incident that Warriors coach Steve Kerr called “shocking” and “unexpected” after “courageously fighting a battle with some health issues in the last few years.”

Kerr still found a moment to laugh, however, through the grief and agony surrounding the circumstances when the Spurs traded Kerr to the Portland Trail Blazers in 2001.
