Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr to miss Game 3 vs. Portland Trail Blazers with illness

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr will miss Saturday's Game 3 of the Western Conference first-round series against the host Portland Trail Blazers due to illness.

Assistant Mike Brown will serve as acting head coach in place of the 51-year-old Kerr, who did not attend the team's morning shootaround.

Kerr is no stranger to health issues as the reigning NBA Coach of the Year missed the first 43 games last season while dealing with headaches, nausea and an ailing neck after undergoing major back surgery.

Superstar forward Kevin Durant (calf), guard Shaun Livingston (finger, hand) and swingman Matt Barnes (ankle) are all listed as questionable on Saturday for the Warriors, who hold a 2-0 advantage in the series.
