Mike Brown remained as acting coach of the Golden State Warriors for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night in Oakland, California.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has been out since he took a leave of absence between Games 2 and 3 of the opening round against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Kerr has been sidelined because of migraines and nausea he has experienced stemming from back surgery almost two years ago.
Sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne on Wednesday that there is a chance Kerr will coach at some point in the series.
"I feel like I'm pretty easy, I can adapt or adjust. I imagine I'm going to coach until Steve tells me he is ready," Brown said before Thursday's game.
Earlier this month, Kerr visited a specialist at Duke to undergo a procedure to repair a spinal fluid leak. Since then, he has had his good and bad days, he said.
