Overview
- Nowitzki said the team waited too long to dismiss Harrison after the Luka Dončić-for-Anthony Davis trade, describing a lingering “black cloud” over the franchise.
- Jason Kidd urged Dallas to get Flagg the ball more late in games after the No. 1 pick logged over 47 minutes and scored 16 in a double‑overtime loss to the Clippers.
- Flagg, who has shifted back toward his natural forward role after early point‑guard duties, said he wasn’t ready to handle full lead‑guard responsibilities yet.
- The rookie was listed as available with a right thumb sprain for the Clippers game and has been playing heavy minutes as the 3-10 Mavericks search for offense.
- Anthony Davis remains out with a left calf strain, and reporting indicates he won’t return until fully cleared by team medical staff and governor Patrick Dumont.
