Steve Kerr did not coach in Game 3 against the Blazers and he will also miss Game 4.
On Monday morning, Zaza Pachulia was asked if the Warriors have held a players-only meeting to discuss the team's situation.

"We knew he wasn't feeling good but when he told us the details, it was kind of emotional. When you care about somebody, you don't want to hear all the struggles. You just feel bad ... it kind of touched me.

"I told him we would be praying for him to get well."
On Sunday, Kerr spoke to the media and declined to share details about what he's going through.
After the Game 3 win, Steph Curry gave the game ball to his head coach.
"He said 'Don't win one for the gipper,'" Zaza shared. "That's what Steve said in the meeting (laughter). But Steph went the opposite way. It was very nice of Steph as a leader, as a captain of the team -- it was a nice gesture from him and I'm sure Steve loved it."
