Steve Kerr will be back on the sidelines Sunday night as the Warriors seek to take a 2-0 lead over the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. Mike Brown filled in the last 11 games for Kerr, who is still dealing with repercussions from back surgery. Kerr said he is good to go for Sunday and plans to coach the rest of the series.
Steve Kerr said his intention is to coach tonight and the rest of the series. "I'm excited. It's good to be back."

Kerr has been highly involved with the team during the past few weeks, attending practices, team meetings and games, but would stay in the locker room while games went on. Warriors players had been saying that Kerr’s presence was comforting for them. Now with their leader back on the sidelines, one has to assume the Dubs will have even more confidence for Sunday’s game. Stay tuned to KNBR.com for more pregame sound and all your postgame coverage.
