Barbosa played 15 seasons in the NBA, including two with the Warriors
from the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons, and three seasons internationally.
The Warriors hired him as a player mentor and development coach after
his retirement from professional basketball in 2020.

Barbosa is one of a few new additions to Brown’s bench, including former
Warriors’ player development coach Luke Loucks.

After serving as Steve Kerr’s assistant coach from 2016 to 2020, Brown
accepted the Kings’ head coaching job on May 8, the same day that Brown
was tapped to fill in for Covid-positive Kerr during the Western
Conference semifinals.

News broke of Barbosa’s new gig the same day he hit a game-winning layup
for the Ball Hogs in the Big 3 League.
