Warriors’ Steve Kerr offers support for Hornets’ Steve Clifford
CHARLOTTE — After shoot-around Wednesday morning at Spectrum Center, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr offered support for Hornets head coach Steve Clifford, who has taken a leave of absence to address his health.
“I want to send him my best wishes,” Kerr said. “Obviously, I’ve been in his shoes. I don’t know what his health issues are, but it’s no fun.”
Clifford is set to miss his second straight game Wednesday night, when Charlotte hosts Golden State, with an undisclosed illness. Associate head coach Stephen Silas is filling in as the Hornets’ acting head coach.
The team has offered no timetable for Clifford’s return.
