Ten days after announcing he was taking a leave of absence to recover from two offseason back surgeries, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr on Sunday clarified his health situation, saying his problems have been caused by a spinal-fluid leak.
Kerr ruptured a disk in his back during Game 5 of the NBA Finals. He had surgery to repair the injury July 28, but a nick to the dura surrounding the spinal cord caused spinal fluid to leak. He had a second surgery Sept. 4 to repair the leak.
