Yesterday, the Dallas Mavericks decided to part ways with General Manager Nico Harrison — about nine months after the infamous Luka Doncic trade that continues to be deeply felt by Mavs fans.
The team has appointed both Michael Finley (a 15-season NBA veteran and two-time All-Star) and Matt Riccardi (assistant general manager) as co-interim general managers. At the same time, the search for a permanent hire begins. We’ll keep you updated when they’re announced. Read owner Patrick Dumont’s letter to fans.
Catch the team at the American Airlines Center as they tip off against the Phoenix Suns tonight, or against the LA Clippers this Friday, Nov. 14. Scout tickets.
