It has to be serious for them to postpone this contest. Hopefully he gets better soon.

Does anyone know what happened?

Found it:

"Golden State assistant coach Dejan Milojevic 'suffered a heart attack' at a Salt Lake City restaurant"

Hoping it's not too serious.

Milojevic, 46, was hospitalized following the medical emergency at a private team dinner in Salt Lake City on Tuesday night. The Warriors say he died late Wednesday morning despite life-saving efforts. He had traveled with the Warriors for Wednesday night's game.

"We are absolutely devastated by Dejan's sudden passing," Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr said in a release from the team. "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. In addition to being a terrific basketball coach, Dejan was one of the most positive and beautiful human beings I have ever known, someone who brought joy and light to every single day with his passion and energy. We grieve with and for his wife, Natasa, and their children, Nikola and Masa. Their loss is unfathomable."

The NBA announced that Wednesday's Warriors-Jazz game has been postponed, and that a makeup date will be announced at a later time.

There were players and coaches dining together when the health episode occurred, sources told ESPN.

Milojevic, who joined Steve Kerr's staff in 2021, was a well-regarded and popular coach in the NBA and international basketball communities. He had a strong relationship with fellow Serbian Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets.

Milojevic had a 15-year professional playing career, including stops in Serbia, Spain, Montenegro and Turkey.

That's awful news the guy is only 3 years older than me and he passed away. Just terrible news for the Warriors who have been through a lot this season as a team.

Hopefully, this won't affect their morale but instead, try harder in honor of their assistant coach.

This is tough one because I think its hard to know how the team will react to this because they were with him when he suffered the heart attack. They won't be focused on basketball for the forseeable future but hopefully they can get through this as a team.

Good point, JR. I can't imagine the trauma.
