Golden State enters Monday’s game looking to take a commanding 3–1 lead over Memphis.

The Warriors will be without head coach Steve Kerr for Monday’s pivotal Game 4 against the Grizzlies.

Golden State announced Kerr will miss the matchup after testing positive for COVID-19. Assistant coach Mike Brown, who recently agreed to become the next head coach of the Kings, will serve as acting coach in his place.

Coming off a huge Game 3 win at Chase Center Saturday night, the Warriors enter Game 4 looking to take a commanding 3–1 lead over the young Grizzlies in front of their home fans.

Kerr’s presence won’t be the only notable absence Stephen Curry and Co. will have to account for Monday night. The Grizzlies will be without Ja Morant as the star point guard deals with the knee injury he sustained two nights ago.

The game is scheduled to tip-off at 10 p.m. ET, and will air on TNT.
