Steve Kerr is not quite ready to return to the sideline on a full-time basis, but the Golden State Warriors coach said he is getting close. The NBA championship-winning coach missed 43 games during the 2015-16 season and has been absent since game two of the first round of this year's playoffs as the Warriors swept their way to the NBA Finals, which begin Thursday. Associate head coach Mike Brown has led the Warriors, though Kerr has participated in team meetings.
