Golden State Warriors Assistant Dejan Milojević Dies After Suffering Heart Attack

Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojević died Wednesday after suffering a heart attack at a private team dinner in Salt Lake City on Tuesday night, the team announced.

“We are absolutely devastated by Dejan’s sudden passing,” head coach Steve Kerr said in a statement. “This is a shocking and tragic blow for everyone associated with the Warriors and an incredibly difficult time for his family, friends and all of us who had the incredible pleasure to work with him.”

The seriousness of the situation led the NBA to postpone Wednesday’s game between the Warriors and the Utah Jazz. The league did not immediately announce a rescheduled date. Golden State is currently scheduled to host the Dallas Mavericks at Chase Center on Friday.

The 46-year-old Milojević was in his third season with the Warriors and was part of the group that helped Golden State win the 2022 NBA championship. He previously coached in Serbia — where he once worked with a young Nikola Jokic before the now-Denver star and two-time NBA MVP came to the United States — along with Montenegro, plus is a past assistant coach for the Serbian national team.

He had prior NBA experience through Summer League stints with Atlanta, San Antonio and Houston. Milojević spent 14 years as a player and was a three-time MVP of the Adriatic League.

Sounds like serious, to me.

Prayers up for the Princess of Wales. 🙏🏻

Yes, it is kind of disturbing. the Royal Family can basically set up a mini hospital in their facilities (and there is probably one somewhere) so this long of stay in an official hospital seems pretty serious.
