The Golden State Warriors have hired Mike Brown to replace Luke Walton as the top assistant coach on Steve Kerr's staff.

Brown most recently was head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Between his two stints with the Cavaliers, Brown was also head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Brown has remained close to his NBA mentor, San Antonio’s Gregg Popovich, and spent a considerable amount of time around the Spurs’ organization during the 2015-16 season.
