Warriors coach Steve Kerr honored late Hall of Fame coach Don Nelson by taking a sip of Bud Light during pregame media availability, mirroring a postgame ritual Nelson had during the Warriors’ “We Believe” playoff run in 2007. The NBA later banned Nelson from bringing beer to interviews after the team upset the top-seeded Mavericks. Tuesday’s game at Chase Center featured tributes including commemorative pins and koozies for fans, as well as former players and members of Nelson’s family attending the event.

Story summary
On Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors honored late Hall of Fame coach Don Nelson with "Nellie Night" during their game against the Lakers at Chase Center in San Francisco. To pay tribute to Nelson, Warriors coach Steve Kerr cracked open a can of Bud Light before addressing reporters, reminiscent of Nelson's habit of bringing beer to postgame interviews during the 2007 playoffs when he coached the team. However, after an upset win over the Mavericks that year, the NBA prohibited Nelson from continuing this practice in the interview room. Kerr clarified that this was a one-time gesture and won't become routine. Former players like Stephen Jackson, Matt Barnes, and Chris Mullin, along with members of Nelson's family, were present at the game to celebrate his legacy. Fans received commemorative "Nellie" pins upon entry.
