Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr returned to the team Sunday after clearing health and safety protocols.

Kerr missed the final three games of the Warriors' second-round win over the Memphis Grizzlies after testing positive for COVID-19. Associate head coach Mike Brown led the Warriors to two wins in the three games he coached.

Despite his lack of physical presence, Kerr remained involved with game-planning and held meetings virtually with coaches and players. Kerr and Brown were speaking three times per day during the former's absence.
