Don Nelson Voted Into Hall Of Fame

Mar 29, 2012 1:01 AM

Don Nelson will be among this year's class inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Nelson, a three-time coach of the year and the NBA's all-time winningest coach, said he got the call Wednesday morning after being snubbed for several years. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame will officially announce the 2012 class on Monday at the NCAA Final Four in New Orleans.

"It's a great honor to cap my career," said Nelson, who is involved in several business ventures and splits his time between Dallas and Maui. "I've had a great time and a great life coaching basketball. I don't actually need to be rewarded for anything, but I am very proud and my family is very proud of this award."

Curry To Visit Ankle Specialist, Return In Doubt

Mar 25, 2012 5:33 PM

Stephen Curry will see an ankle specialist on Thursday in Los Angeles.

Curry will then meet with Warriors' management to discuss his status for the rest of the season.

“He would love to play. In fact, that's been one of the problems," general manager Larry Riley said. "He's wanted to be out there probably before he should have at times. He wants to play, but he also has gained an awful lot of wisdom."

Riley said there is something to gain from Curry playing in the season's final month.

"To prove to himself and to put his own mind at ease," Riley said. "It's a season that's been very frustrating for him."
