Overview
- Dallas parted ways with GM Nico Harrison on Nov. 11 and installed Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi in interim roles while launching a search for a permanent lead executive.
- The team will work with Davis’s camp over the next two-plus months to decide whether to pursue a deal before the Feb. 5 trade deadline, according to Marc Stein.
- Davis has missed seven straight games with a left calf strain, and owner Patrick Dumont has requested medical data before clearing a return due to re‑injury concerns reported by ESPN.
- Other clubs are monitoring Dallas for a move, yet Davis’s $54.1 million salary and second‑apron restrictions leave few workable trade constructions during the season.
- The Mavericks are 3-9, and Luka Dončić said he is focused on the Lakers when asked about a potential return to Dallas.
