Overview
- During a 116-114 defeat to the Bucks, loud “Fire Nico” chants rang out with GM Nico Harrison seated in the stands.
- A new seat configuration with portable stairs now allows Harrison to exit without walking through fan sections, per Marc Stein.
- The loss dropped Dallas to 3-8 despite No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg scoring a career-high 26 points.
- League reporting says ownership is troubled by the ceaseless negativity around the team, and ESPN has been cited saying his firing is viewed as a matter of when, not if.
- Fan anger traces to Harrison’s February trade sending Luka Dončić to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first, with Dončić thriving and Davis dealing with injuries.
