Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojević died Wednesday, officials said, after he suffered a heart attack at dinner the night before in Salt Lake City.
The Warriors–Utah Jazz game, set for 7 p.m. MT Wednesday at the Delta Center, had been postponed shortly after the team announced that Milojević, 46, was hospitalized Tuesday night, having suffered “a medical emergency at a private team dinner.”
He had a heart attack and died late Wednesday morning, the team said.
"We are absolutely devastated by Dejan Milojević’s sudden passing," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said in a statement issued by the team. "This is a shocking and tragic blow for everyone associated with the Warriors and an incredibly difficult time for his family, friends, and all of us who had the incredible pleasure to work with him."
Kerr said Milojević was a relentlessly upbeat person "who brought joy" to others every day.
