- At a 10 am central meeting Tuesday, the Dallas Mavericks fired Nico Harrison after a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, dropping to 3-8.
- Harrison's early-February trade sending Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a first-round pick sparked fan outrage and chants of `Fire Nico` at the American Airlines Center.

- Owner Patrick Dumont, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, concluded firing Nico Harrison was necessary for the team's pursuit of championships, and Dallas will begin a job search soon with Matt Riccardi, assistant general manager, a possible internal candidate.
- Since the trade, the Dallas Mavericks are 14-29, and observers say the deal may define Nico Harrison's career, making his NBA return unlikely as he needed Anthony Davis healthy last year.
