Warriors assistant coach Terry Stotts reportedly is staying in the Bay.
As new Knicks coach Mike Brown attempts to fill his coaching staff in New York, Stotts “doesn’t plan on going anywhere” and will return to Golden State for the 2025-26 NBA season, SNY’s Ian Begley reported Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Stotts, 67, joined Steve Kerr on the front bench last season after the Warriors coach’s former top assistant, Kenny Atkinson, accepted the Cleveland Cavaliers’ head-coaching job. Stotts brought over a decade of head-coaching experience with him to Golden State and helped provide structure to the offense.
With a team led by Steph Curry, Stotts didn’t have to tweak too much. Still, he helped the Warriors reach the NBA playoffs in his first season alongside Kerr, in addition to defensive-minded assistant and former player Jerry Stackhouse.
The Warriors finished the 2024-25 season ranked No. 15 in offensive rating (115.09) and will look to improve upon that standing next season with Stotts back in the mix.
