Overview
- ESPN’s Tim MacMahon said it is a matter of when, not if, Harrison is fired, with a strong likelihood of a midseason move, though no decision has been announced.
- Marc Stein reported that organizational morale has “cratered” and that considering an in‑season front‑office change has become unavoidable for ownership.
- Dumont weighed in on whether Anthony Davis should return from a calf strain, a notable escalation into decisions previously left to basketball operations.
- Fan hostility has intensified with repeated “Fire Nico” chants, and Stein reported the team added portable stairs at home games to limit Harrison’s exposure to crowds.
- Dallas is 3–7 with one of the league’s worst offenses, and the widely criticized trade of Luka Dončić for Anthony Davis remains the central point of backlash and complicates the politics of any firing.
