HOUSTON — Dallas Mavericks coach Don Nelson told his players after they lost to Houston that he has prostate cancer. He was more interested in lecturing Rockets star Steve Francis.

Nelson said after the 109-102 loss Tuesday night that he was diagnosed with cancer earlier in the day.

He will know more about his condition after talking with his doctors Wednesday.
