Overview
- Dallas confirmed Harrison’s ouster and said it has begun a comprehensive search for a permanent general manager.
- Assistant executives Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi were appointed to run basketball operations on an interim basis.
- Harrison’s tenure unraveled after his February deal sending Luka Dončić to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a first-round pick, with Dončić now producing league-leading numbers in Los Angeles.
- Injuries have compounded Dallas’ slide, with Anthony Davis sidelined by a calf strain later described as bilateral achilles tendinopathy and Kyrie Irving still out following last season’s ACL tear.
- Reporting from Marc Stein indicates agent Rich Paul is in regular contact with owner Patrick Dumont, fueling speculation about Davis’ future, though no roster moves have been decided.
