SAN FRANCISCO – Steve Kerr’s son is the newest member of the Golden State Warriors’ NBA coaching staff.

Nicholas Kerr is joining the NBA team’s coaching staff after spending the past two seasons as the head coach of the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League.

Santa Cruz went 20-14 in each of his two seasons in charge, making the postseason during both campaigns. Before that, Nicholas was an assistant coach in Santa Cruz from 2021-23.

“Congratulations to Nicholas Kerr for being called up to rejoin the @warriors staff,” the Santa Cruz Warriors account posted on Instagram.

Lainn Wilson, Golden State’s head video coordinator for each of the past four seasons, was named Santa Cruz’s next head coach.

Before working in Santa Cruz, Nicholas was an assistant coach on his father’s staff from 2018-21. He was a video coordinator and worked in player development during his time in the NBA.

Nicholas, 32, played college basketball at San Diego and Cal from 2011-16.

The new coach joins a team that went 48-34 during the regular season, and was bounced from the playoffs in the second round by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
