Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has agreed to a two-year, $35 million contract extension, according to two people with direct knowledge of the negotiations.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because Kerr has not signed his new contract. ESPN first reported the new pact, attributing it to Kerr’s agents at Priority Sports. It would be a record for annual value.
In his 10th season with the Warriors, Kerr’s current contract expired after this season – and he had been in no rush to finalize anything, with the season being his top priority and it being clear he always planned to return.
The 58-year-old Kerr recently won his 500th game and guided Golden State to four championships with a star-studded roster led by Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson.
