In a stunning development shaking the NBA world, Golden State Warriors co-owner Peter Guber has officially announced that franchise icon Stephen Curry will take over as the team’s new manager, following a turbulent postseason exit and growing criticism of longtime coach Steve Kerr.
The announcement comes just weeks after the Warriors’ disappointing playoff loss, which sparked heated debates among fans and analysts about the team’s direction and Kerr’s decision-making. The move marks a dramatic shift for the Warriors, handing the reins to one of the most celebrated players in league history.
“Steph is the heart and soul of this organization,” Guber stated during the press conference. “His leadership on and off the court is unparalleled. This was a bold but necessary step forward.”
While Kerr has not yet commented publicly, insiders report that tensions behind the scenes and questions about player development and late-game strategies played a key role in his departure.
Curry, 37, will take on a dual role with significant influence over both roster development and team culture. The announcement ends months of speculation about his post-playing career, as he officially steps away from active play to enter the next chapter of his legacy.
