Overview
- Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi were named co-interim leaders of basketball operations as Dallas begins a comprehensive GM search, owner Patrick Dumont said in a letter to fans.
- The firing followed a 3–8 start punctuated by “Fire Nico!” chants during Monday’s loss, when Dumont was seen speaking with a fan in a Lakers Dončić jersey.
- Harrison’s tenure unraveled after trading Luka Dončić to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick.
- Anthony Davis remains sidelined with a calf/achilles issue and has missed six straight games, while Kyrie Irving is still recovering from last season’s ACL tear.
- League reporting says Davis’ agent Rich Paul is in regular contact with Dumont, prompting questions about Davis’ future.
