Overview
- Dallas lost 116-114 to Milwaukee, dropping five of six and slipping to 3-8 despite a top-five defense and a league-worst offense.
- Marc Stein reports ownership is troubled by the “rising and virtually ceaseless negativity,” and ESPN’s Tim MacMahon says Harrison being fired is viewed as a matter of when, potentially midseason.
- Before the Bucks game, Yahoo Sports cited reports that owner Patrick Dumont has discussed possible replacements, including former Warriors GM Bob Myers, a development characterized as exploratory.
- Dumont also reportedly weighed in on whether Anthony Davis should return from a calf strain, highlighting internal friction as Davis missed a sixth straight game and targets a Wednesday return versus the Suns.
- With the team’s direction in flux, reporting points to Dallas exploring a market for Klay Thompson while MacMahon contends Harrison is unlikely to trade Anthony Davis, reflecting a commitment to a short-term contending window.
