From CNBC:

Assistant coach Dejan Milojević and Kevon Looney of the Golden State Warriors chat before a game against the Los Angeles Lakers during the Western Conference Semifinals in the 2023 NBA Playoffs at Crypto.com Arena in LA on May 6, 2023.

The National Basketball Association has postponed a second Golden State Warriors game after assistant coach Dejan Milojević’s death earlier this week.

The Warriors’ Friday matchup against the Dallas Mavericks will be rescheduled to a later date, with ESPN broadcasting the Brooklyn Nets versus Los Angeles Lakers instead.

Milojević suffered a heart attack at a team dinner and later died in the hospital, as announced by the Warriors on Wednesday.

Milojević was in his third season on the Warriors’ coaching staff and had served as the head coach for KK Mega Basket in Belgrade, Serbia, from 2012 to 2020. He had also been a member of summer leagues for the Atlanta Hawks, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets.

The Warriors are set to play next on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.
