The Dallas Mavericks said Saturday that Wednesday’s home game against the Golden State Warriors will tip off at 8 p.m. ET, 90 minutes earlier than originally scheduled.

Dallas plans to honor Don Nelson at the game at American Airlines Center. Nelson, who coached both the Mavericks and the Warriors, died in August at age 86. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012.
