Dallas Mavericks plan to honor Don Nelson on November 18

The Dallas Mavericks are tentatively planning to honor former coach and general manager Don Nelson during their home game on November 18. Nelson, who died on August 9, held significant roles within both the Dallas and Golden State organizations. The Mavericks are scheduled to host the Golden State Warriors on that date, creating an opportunity for a joint tribute. The Golden State team intends to wear a "NELLIE" patch on their jerseys throughout the current season to recognize his contributions. The tribute remains subject to finalization by the franchise. This ceremony would commemorate the career of a central figure in the history of both involved teams.
