OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State coach Don Nelson is expected to part ways with the Warriors on Monday, an NBA source tells The Associated Press.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday night because the move likely won’t be announced until the start of the Warriors’ training camp next week.
Nelson has a record 1,335 wins, but he has never led a team to a title. He passed Lenny Wilkens’ record of 1,332 wins on April 7 in his second stint with the Warriors.
