Milojeviċ died last week at the age of 46 after a heart attack.

Prior to coaching, he had a 15-year playing career in Europe that included helping lead then-Yugoslavia the 2001 men's EuroBasket title. He joined the Golden State staff before the 2021-22 campaign.

Warriors games against the Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks were postponed following his death.

What's more, the team announced there will be a "DM" logo on the Chase Center court and a patch on the uniforms to further honor him:

Wednesday was the first of four straight home games for Golden State.
