The squad released a statement saying, “Dejan Milojević’s sudden passing absolutely devastated us.” The squad said on Wednesday, “This is a shocking and tragic blow for ever emergency during a private team dinner.”

The NBA decided to postpone Wednesday’s Warriors vs. Utah Jazz game due to the gravity of the situation. The league didn’t provide a new date right away.

During his third season with the Warriors, Milojević was a member of the team that contributed to Golden State’s 2022 NBA championship triumph. Prior to Nikola Jokić, the current Denver star and two-time NBA MVP, moving to the United States, he served as an assistant coach for the Serbian national team and coached in Montenegro and Serbia.

You were an incredible human being in addition to being a basketball prodigy. Milojević trained Dylan Ennis, an international professional who posted on Twitter for a long period. “So many people are going to miss you.”

When Milojević was a coach in Europe, he coached players like Jokić, Ivica Zubac of the Los Angeles Clippers, Goga Bitadze of Orlando, and Boban Marjanović of Houston, among others. Kerr claimed that Kent Lacob, the son of Golden State owner Joe Lacob, was the one who first introduced him to Milojević. Additionally, Kerr made the decision to go after Milojević in 2021 after the Warriors had some personnel changes.

It took some convincing, but Milojević finally agreed to take the offer. Kerr was thrilled. “I immediately saw what Kent was talking about,” Kerr said in a video produced by the Warriors last year. “He was so great to be around. At the same time, he had this amazing basketball background both as a player and a coach. It made so much sense for us to bring Deki in.” Milojević won three consecutive Most Valuable Player awards in the Adriatic League, taking those trophies in 2004, 2005 and 2006 when the 6ft 7in, 240lb power forward was at the peak of his playing career. Jokić would be MVP of that league in 2015, a year after current Golden State forward Dario Šarić was MVP there.

No player has more Adriatic MVPs than Milojević, and the stories of some games in his youth were legendary. Among them: how he scored 141 points as a 14-year-old in 1991, 83 of those points coming in the second half after his coach ordered he take all the shots. “I teach all my players that basketball is not a job, but that they should enjoy the game,” Milojević told Bosnian radio-television outlet RTV in a 2018 interview. “Because if you want to do something for the next 20 years, then you have to love it a lot. It’s not easy to endure all these efforts if you don’t like something. Only those who have a sincere love for the game can handle everything with great.

Before joining the Warriors, Milojević had prior NBA experience through Summer League assistant-coach stints with Atlanta, San Antonio and Houston. Tributes began pouring in quickly after Milojević’s death was announced, including from the Spanish club Valencia, where he spent two seasons. “The Club wants to send his family a lot of encouragement and strength in these difficult times, and convey all our support to them,” read Valencia’s statement.
