Overview
- Multiple outlets report the decision followed a closed-door meeting with governor Patrick Dumont one day after “Fire Nico” chants during a 116-114 home loss to the Bucks.
- Dallas is 3-8 after that defeat, with No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg recording a career-high 26 points in the loss.
- Harrison’s February trade sent Luka Dončić to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick, a return widely criticized as Davis has dealt with injuries.
- Reporting indicates Dumont has taken a more active role, including overruling a planned Davis return from a calf issue for Saturday’s game in Washington.
- League insiders say Davis’ agent Rich Paul is in regular contact with Dumont, underscoring uncertainty about the veteran big man’s trajectory in Dallas.
