Following nine months of fan protests over the controversial Luka Dončić trade, Dallas Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison was fired after the team opened the 2025–26 NBA season with a dismal 3–8 record.

The Dallas Mavericks fired general manager Nico Harrison on Tuesday, an admission nine months later that the widely criticized trade of Luka Doncic backfired on the franchise.

The report comes nine months after Dallas sent five-time first-team All-NBA selection Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster trade.
