Dallas Mavericks Players Push Back Against 'Fire Nico' Chants

P.J. Washington and Max Christie urge fans to support the team as Dallas struggles with injuries and fallout from the Luka Doncic trade.

Mavericks forward P.J. Washington called for an end to 'Fire Nico' chants targeting GM Nico Harrison, urging fans to move past the Luka Doncic trade and support the current roster.
Dallas has faced significant challenges since trading Doncic to the Lakers, including injuries that have left the team struggling to field a full roster.
The Mavericks are clinging to the final Play-In spot in the Western Conference despite losing eight of their last nine games and facing mounting personnel issues.
Max Christie emphasized the team's professionalism, stating that players are focused on performing despite distractions and fan frustrations.
The Mavericks face further roster constraints due to hard cap restrictions and limited eligibility for two-way players, with key injured players like Anthony Davis and Daniel Gafford having no clear return timeline.
