The Dallas Mavericks fired general manager Nico Harrison on Tuesday, nine months after trading Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers. The move follows a 3-8 start to the 2025-26 season and persistent fan protests. Assistant GMs Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi will serve as co-interim leaders.
Following the Dallas Mavericks' firing of general manager Nico Harrison and a 3-9 start to the season, other NBA teams are monitoring the franchise for possible trades involving Anthony Davis. Sources indicate interest in Davis, though his high salary, injury history and extension eligibility complicate deals. The Mavericks acquired Davis in a blockbuster trade from the Los Angeles Lakers nine months ago in exchange for Luka Doncic and other assets.
