Page "Golden State Warriors" Paragraph 15

The season after that, however, saw a rift form between Webber, Sprewell and Nelson.

All three soon left the team, and the organization went into a tailspin.

1994 – 95 was the first season under former team owner Chris Cohan.

While the Oakland Coliseum underwent a complete renovation, the 1996 – 97 Golden State Warriors played their home games in the San Jose Arena in San Jose, California, struggling to a 30 – 52 finish.

Sprewell was suspended for the remainder of the 1997 – 98 season for choking head coach P. J. Carlesimo during a team practice in December 1997.

He would not play until he was dealt in January 1999 to the New York Knicks for John Starks, Chris Mills and Terry Cummings.
