Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic died Wednesday morning in Salt Lake City after suffering a heart attack on Tuesday night, the team confirmed.

Milojevic was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday night after he had a heart attack while at a team dinner. He was in his third year of coaching with the Warriors.

“We are absolutely devastated by Dejan’s sudden passing,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said in a statement. “This is a shocking and tragic blow for everyone associated with the Warriors and an incredibly difficult time for his family, friends, and all of us who had the incredible pleasure to work with him. In addition to being a terrific basketball coach, Dejan was one of the most positive and beautiful human beings I have ever known.”
