Mike Dunleavy Jr’s wife, Sarah Dunleavy, graduated with him from Duke University in 2002. The couple tied the knot in 2008 and are now parents to four kids.
A former NBA player, Mike was the third overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft for the Warriors. In his 15 years long career, Mike went on to play for Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls and hung up his cleats in 2017 with the Hawks.
He joined the executive position at the Warriors in 2018 as a pro scout. He steadily moved up in the hierarchy and became the vice president of basketball operations in 2021.
On Friday, Warriors announced Mike would replace the outgoing Bob Myers as their general manager. It will be big shoes for Dunleavy to fill, but he has stated he is ready for the challenge and responsibility.

Mike And Sarah Dunleavy Share Four Kids
The new GM of Golden State Warriors, Mike Dunleavy Jr, shares four kids with his wife partner, Sarah Dunleavy.
The couple has two boys, ages 7 and 11, and two girls, ages 12 and 3. In an interview with Mercury News, the couple talked about raising their kids through the pandemic.
The couple said they didn’t try to hide the conversation from their kids and said their older kids understand the topic quite well.
During the interview, Dunleavy added what became 9/11 to them would probably be coronavirus for his kids.
During the pandemic, his oldest daughter would spend her time sewing medical-style masks from old T-shirts, and with his two sons, Mike would play basketball in their driveway.
The boys of the Dunleavy family would mimic great NBA teams such as the 1980s Lakers, where one would be Magic Johnson and the other Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Throughout the years, the Dunleavy family has tried their best to stay away from the limelight. His wife, Sarah, has accompanied him previously to a few events.
The NBA couple attended Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy Brooklyn Black Tie Ball event in 2017 and were previously attendees at Chicago Young Leaders 4th Annual Green Gala in 2014.
