Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, sidelined with symptoms from complications following two back surgeries two years ago, is not expected to return during the second-round playoff series against the Utah Jazz.

Kerr, who remains away from the team indefinitely, was scheduled to see a specialist at Duke University Medical Center on Friday and has been receiving treatment aimed at alleviating the symptoms, sources told ESPN.

Kerr has been suffering from complications that cause severe headaches, nausea and dizziness as his symptoms worsened.

He has spent much of the past week consulting with specialists at Stanford Medical Center to find an answer to his chronic pain, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
