Dillon Brooks says he ‘didn’t mean’ to injure Gary Payton II and that he didn’t understand what Steve Kerr meant by ‘broke the code’ comment espn.com/nba/story/_/id…7:39 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks expressed contrition for Gary Payton II suffered an injury off his Flagrant Foul 2. But Brooks disputed Steve Kerr’s assertion that he “broke the code.” Brooks also has to reach out to Gary Payton II directly https://t.co/Nq5KHi07Yd pic.twitter.com/d9YVfYMmkk5:32 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Dillon Brooks on his reaction that Steve Kerr said he “broke the code” with his foul on Gary Payton II: “No reaction. I don’t even know what that means in the playoffs. I did not even understand what he meant by that.” Brooks stressed he tried to make a play on the ball – 3:45 PM
Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Dillon Brooks on Steve Kerr saying he broke the code: “I don’t even really know what that means. It’s the playoffs… every play counts. So I don’t know what that means.” – 3:42 PM

Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Steve Kerr on Mike Brown being hired by the Kings:
“I don’t even know where to begin. What Mike has done for me, for this organization in his six years here, he’s made just an incredible contribution. He’s an amazing coach, amazing friend, and Sacramento made a great choice.” – 2:11 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Warriors coach Steve Kerr says F Otto Porter is ‘fine,’ despite being listed on the injury report as ‘probable’ with a right hand contusion. He’ll likely play tonight. – 2:08 PM
Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
Steve Kerr on if the Grizzlies are without Ja Morant (who is listed as doubtful) tonight: “Memphis went 20-5 without him. They’re a hell-of-a-team…We’ll be prepared either way.” – 2:07 PM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Steve Kerr on if Ja Morant doesn’t play for the Grizzlies tonight: “Memphis went 20-5 without him. They’re a hell of a team. … They’re really deep.” – 2:07 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Steve Kerr said it’s too early to say how they’ll fill Mike Brown’s upcoming vacancy. Luke Walton and Alvin Gentry are familiar voices. But interesting to see if Warriors look for new voices. In meantime, Brown will continue his assistant coaching duties through rest of playoffs – 2:04 PM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Steve Kerr began today’s presser by offering condolences to Adreian Payne. “Draymond is just crushed,” Kerr said. “Devastating news today.” – 2:02 PM

Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
Steve Kerr offered his condolences to Adreian Payne’s family before his today’s presser. He said Draymond Green is “crushed”. #GoldBlooded1:58 PM
Peter Edmiston @peteredmiston
To me, both coaches have done more than anyone else in cranking up the rhetoric and making this stuff personal. Steve Kerr with the hypocrisy and “code” bullshit w/ self-pitying whiny press conference, Taylor Jenkins insisting that the Morant injury came from Poole’s involvement. – 1:10 PM
Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
Steve Kerr’s perspective vs. Taylor Jenkins’ perspective.
Jenkins says his team is not trying to get caught up in narratives, yet he, Ja Morant, and Jarren Jackson Jr. all insinuated on Saturday that the play was out of line. pic.twitter.com/ZEgmprxrJD8:59 PM
