Veteran NBA coach Billy Donovan is reportedly waiting to see whether the Golden State Warriors head-coaching position becomes available before committing to his next job, according to a Sports Illustrated report cited by Fullcourtpass on April 26, 2026.
Steve Kerr remains the Warriors’ head coach, but questions about his contract status and the team’s disappointing season have sparked speculation about possible changes. No official move has been made by the organization.
Donovan, 60, recently stepped down after six seasons with the Chicago Bulls as the franchise began a full rebuild. At the time of his departure, he made it clear he intended to continue coaching in the NBA.
The Sports Illustrated report indicates Donovan is keeping his options open while specifically monitoring Golden State. League sources told Hoops Wire that a return to the college ranks could be considered only if an NBA opportunity does not materialize.
For now, no timeline has been set, and neither the Warriors nor Donovan have commented publicly on the situation.
