Here’s an article from CC about this whole thing.

Cliffnotes, Nelson won’t be fired but he will no longer be in charge, they’re still working through his new role.

The team and players grew frustrated with how unwilling he was to bend on things like Zion’s bursts in his rookie season.

Teammates got frustrated with Ingram and his extended absence this year, they felt he was good to play and continued sitting out.

I couldn't read due to a paywall.

Is this due to an existing contract? Don't want to buy him out, so just put him in another role until it's over?

I don't get why it was a bad idea. He had no stamina and was most effective playing in short bursts, plus less minutes=less opportunity for injury.

If he's only going to play 20ish minutes, six 3-4 minute bursts seems like a good target.

Did the training staff hold him out against his wishes?
