The NBA announced the rescheduling of two Golden State Warriors games on Friday that were postponed last week following the death of Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic.

The shifts also required the league make two other alterations to the NBA schedule in early April.

Milojevic, a Serbian who was an assistant coach on the Warriors' 2022 NBA championship squad, died January 17 in Salt Lake City at age 46 after a heart attack.

Golden State's scheduled January 17 contest at Utah will be played on February 15. It will be the Warriors' third game in four nights after games February 12 at Utah and February 14 at home against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The contest will come just before the NBA All-Star Game break, with the Warriors not back on the court until February 22 when the Los Angeles Lakers visit.

The Dallas Mavericks game at Golden State, which had been scheduled for January 19, was moved to April 2.

A Warriors' game at Dallas that was originally set for April 2 was rescheduled for April 5.

As a result, the Atlanta Hawks game at Dallas, which had been scheduled for April 5, was moved one night earlier to April 4.

It will be another run of three games in four nights for the Warriors, who visit Houston on April 4 between matchups with Dallas.

At 19-23, the Warriors are 12th in the Western Conference, two games behind Utah for the final play-in position in the post-season.
