Don Nelson

Warriors coach Don Nelson has pneumonia and will not be with the team for today’s game against the Dallas Mavericks and Wednesday’s game at San Antonio.

He might miss Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers, as well.

“He’s sick as a dog,” general manager Larry Riley said.

A team source said Nelson was tested for swine flu, and the Warriors are waiting for results. Assistant coach Keith Smart will take over as head coach until Nelson returns.
