Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is once again advocating for a shorter NBA season, suggesting the league should eliminate 10 games from its current 82-game schedule. Kerr made the comments following his team's 129-126 loss to the Utah Jazz on Monday night, a defeat that came with a depleted roster missing key players including Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler.

Kerr acknowledges the financial implications of cutting games, noting that revenue would decrease and players would need to accept less money. However, he argues that a shorter season would create a more competitive and healthier league, pointing to the current pace of play and travel demands. According to ESPN Research, teams are averaging 115.2 points per game this season, the highest since 1969-70, while players are covering record distances at faster speeds.

The Warriors have lost four of their past five games and face potential playoff elimination. Kerr has long been vocal about the injury risks associated with today's faster-paced game and extensive travel schedule. His comments come amid growing concerns about player health and the integrity of competition, particularly following recent fines against teams for tanking.
