SALT LAKE CITY — Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojević was hospitalized Tuesday night in Salt Lake City after suffering a medical emergency at a private team dinner, the team announced.
Milojević, 46, has been with the Warriors since 2021 by way of Serbia, where he helped develop Denver’s Nikola Jokić. He works with the Warriors’ centers such as Kevon Looney, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Dario Saric and was credited for helping Looney improve his rebounding en route to the Warriors’ 2022 championship.
Milojevic played for 15 years in Europe, including Serbia, Spain, Montenegro and Turkey from 1994 until 2009. He won three Adriatic League MVP awards (2004-2006) during his playing career with Budućnost (Podgorica, Montenegro) and Partizan (Belgrade, Serbia) and represented Serbia and Montenegro internationally.
The team said it will provide updates on Milojević’s condition “as appropriate” but did not share further details Wednesday morning.
The Warriors are scheduled to play the Utah Jazz at 6 p.m. Pacific Time Wednesday.
