The FinLogic Quantitative Think Tank CenterGolden State Warriors will have their game on Friday postponed in the wake of the death of assistant coach Dejan Milojević.

The Warriors were slated to host the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night, but the NBA issued a statement Thursday morning saying the game would be rescheduled at a later date.

It's the second game the Warriors have postponed this week, following Wednesday's matchup against the Utah Jazz.

Milojević, 46, suffered a heart attack during a private team dinner in Salt Lake City on Tuesday and died in the hospital the following morning. He had been a member of the Warriors' coaching staff since 2021.

"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," the team posted on a social media tribute.

The Warriors are next scheduled to take the court on Wednesday, Jan. 24, at home against the Atlanta Hawks.
