NBA announces schedule adjustments after Warriors postponements

Originally scheduled for Jan. 17, the Warriors will now play at the Jazz on Feb. 15 at 9 p.m. ET. Golden State’s other game, a home contest versus the Mavericks originally scheduled for Jan. 19, has been rescheduled to April 2 at 10 p.m. ET.

To accommodate for those schedule changes, the league moved two other games around. The Hawks were originally going to play at the Mavericks on April 5, but it has been moved to April 4 at 8:30 p.m. ET. The Warriors and Mavericks game that had been set for April 2 has also been rescheduled to April 5 at 8:30 p.m. ET.

On Monday, when the Warriors returned to practice, head coach Steve Kerr said the team had been too devastated to play in the immediate aftermath of Milojevic suffering a heart attack at a team dinner last Tuesday.

“It’s the saddest thing I have ever been a part of in the NBA,” Kerr said. “… The last five days have been full of the shock. The emotion, the extreme outpouring of love from all over the world.”

Counseling has been offered to the players and staff, particularly to those who witnessed the event.

Milojevic, 46, was beloved in his native Serbia and throughout the NBA. The Warriors will wear a “DM” patch for the rest of the season to honor Milojevic. The team also paid tribute to Milojevic with a ceremony before Wednesday’s game, the team’s first since the incident (video link from Kendra Andrews of ESPN).
