What happened: Steve Kerr has agreed to a new two-year contract to return as head coach of the Golden State Warriors, according to the source signal citing agents Dan Eveloff and Rick Smith of Priority Sports. The agreement follows roughly three weeks of talks after Kerr's future became uncertain when Golden State's season ended.

Why it matters: The move gives Golden State stability after a 37-45 finish and a play-in exit in the 2025-26 season. It also keeps the franchise's leadership in place as it weighs offseason roster decisions around Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The deal comes days after Draymond Green publicly backed Kerr's return.

By the numbers: 2025-26 Warriors: 37-45, 10th in the Western Conference. Last game listed in season context: a 111-96 loss at Phoenix in the play-in on April 17, 2026. Kerr's prior contract extension was reported in February 2024 and ran through the 2025-26 season.

What to watch: Watch for an official team announcement and any details on Kerr's contract terms. The next signals to track are potential staff changes and how the Warriors approach their offseason roster build.
