- Dumont issued a letter to supporters announcing the decision and pledging to rebuild trust with the fan base.
- The Mavericks have stumbled early in the season at 3–8, with Anthony Davis out since Oct. 29 due to a calf injury that reports describe as bilateral achilles tendinopathy.
- Chants of “Fire Nico!” intensified during Monday’s 116–114 home loss to the Bucks, reflecting sustained fan unrest since February’s Dončić-for-Davis deal.
