This day has long been anticipated by Dallas Mavericks supporters. On Tuesday, November 11, those who have been screaming " Fire Nico," hoping to end the general manager's term with the team, will finally have something to celebrate. The Mavs management finally fired the general manager, Nico Harrison .
In the closing minutes of the Dallas Mavericks' October 24 home loss to the terrible Washington Wizards, the chant erupted once more. The fans even forced the management to take some tough decisions. Moreover, with days of rumors that suggested that Mavs had fired Nico, the day finally came when they did.
Nico Harrison dismissed as Dallas Mavericks GM after turbulent post-Luka Doncic era and disappointing season start
Nine months after dealing top player Luka Doncic , Nico Harrison, the general manager of the Dallas Mavericks, was fired on Tuesday. Since Doncic was unexpectedly traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in February for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round selection, Harrison has been under fire.
In the closing minutes of the Dallas Mavericks' October 24 home loss to the Wizards, people started chanting loudly:
"Fire Nico! Fire Nico! Fire Nico!"
Ever since Harrison traded Luka Doncic on February 2, Mavericks supporters had been demanding that Harrison be fired. A day following the team's defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks, he was finally let go.
Following Dallas' 3-8 start to the 2025–26 season, which is next to last in the Western Conference, the Mavericks sacked Harrison after he had led the franchise for more than four years.
Since All-NBA guard Doncic was traded to the Lakers, Harrison's job security had been precarious. In a public statement, Mavs owner Patrick Dumont acknowledged the team's difficult start and called Harrison's dismissal "critical" to the team's "positive direction." He said:
“No one associated with the Mavericks organization is happy with the start of what we all believed would be a promising season,” Dumont said. “You have high expectations for the Mavericks, and I share them with you. When the results don’t meet expectations, it’s my responsibility to act.”
Meanwhile, the Mavericks announced that they will start a thorough search for a permanent replacement, but as of now, assistant general managers Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi have been appointed co-interim general managers to oversee the basketball operations.
