Overview
- The team announced Harrison’s ouster Tuesday and appointed Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi to run basketball operations on an interim basis while a full search begins.
- Monday’s 116-114 home loss to the Bucks featured loud “Fire Nico” chants as Dallas fell to 3-8, overshadowing No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg’s career‑best 26 points.
- Harrison’s standing never recovered from February’s deal sending Luka Dončić to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a future first‑round pick.
- Reporting indicates governor Patrick Dumont has taken a more hands-on role, including stepping in recently to block an Anthony Davis return from a calf issue before Tuesday’s decision.
- With injuries to Davis and Kyrie Irving contributing to the poor start, multiple outlets report Davis’ future in Dallas is uncertain as agent Rich Paul maintains regular contact with Dumont.
