The 46-year old Serbian coach had to be rushed to the hospital while Warriors were having dinner at an area restaurant Tuesday night.
Milojevic had been an assistant coach with the Warriors since the 2021-22 season, was the KK Mega Basket in Serbia from 2012-2020 and was an assistant on the Serbian national team.
"We are absolutely devastated by Dejan's sudden passing," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said in a statement released by the team. "In addition to being a terrific basketball coach, Dejan was one of the most positive and beautiful human beings I have ever known, someone who brought joy and light to every single day with his passion and energy."
