Former Brooklyn Nets HC Kenny Atkinson Joins Warriors Coaching Staff

Steve Kerr and the Warriors front office made a big splash yesterday, acquiring Kenny Atkinson as the team’s new lead assistant coach.

Atkinson spent last year as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers, and he spent 2016-2020 as the head coach for the Brooklyn Nets, before being replaced by Steve Nash in the 2020-2021 season.

Adding Atkinson to the bench seems to be a great hire for the Dubs, as Atkinson is a proven coach and is widely revered for his ability to develop young talent, which the Warriors organization could certainly use right now as they look to properly develop James Wiseman and currently own the 7th and 14th picks in the NBA draft.

Warriors Blown out in Return to Action

Whether before or after All-Star Sunday, the losses have started coming and they don't stop coming.

In their first games after the break, the Los Angeles Clippers (25-14) took down the Golden State Warriors (19-19) to the tune of 130-104 at Staples Center on Thursday. The defeat for Golden State gave it its first three-game skid of the season after losing to Portland and Phoenix before the hiatus.
