The Golden State Warriors’ game against the host Utah Jazz was postponed Wednesday after an assistant coach had a “medical emergency,” officials said.
Warriors assistant Dejan Milojević was hospitalized Tuesday night “in Salt Lake City, Utah, after suffering a medical emergency at a private team dinner,” according to a team statement.
The NBA then called off the Warriors-Jazz game “due to a medical emergency in the Warriors family,” the league said.
The game had been set to tip at 7 p.m. MST at the Delta Center.
Milojević, 46, was hired in 2021 after a coaching and decorated playing career in Europe.
The 6-foot-7 Belgrade native, known as “Coach Decky” to the Warriors, is tasked with working with Golden State’s big men. He’s been credited with the development of Warriors center Kevon Looney.
