The basketball world is in mourning following the tragic and untimely death of Dejan Milojević, the esteemed assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors. Milojević, 46, passed away after a sudden medical emergency in Salt Lake City on Tuesday night.

Early reports speculate that Milojević suffered a heart attack.

Milojević, a Serbian native, was hospitalized in critical condition on Tuesday, as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne. His death comes as a shock to many.

Before joining the Warriors’ coaching staff in 2021, Milojević had a decorated 15-year career in playing and coaching. His journey in basketball began in his home country, Serbia, where he established himself as a formidable player.

Milojević had a successful professional basketball career, playing primarily in Europe. He was known for his skills and achievements on the court. After retiring from playing, Milojević transitioned into a coaching role.

He was recognized for his coaching abilities, particularly in developing young talent. Milojević was influential in the development of several high-profile European basketball players, including Nikola Jokic, who recently won back-to-back NBA MVPs in 2021 and 2022.
