The Dallas Mavericks are expected to fire general manager Nico Harrison after an 11 a.m. ET meeting with team owner Patrick Dumont on Tuesday, ESPN reported.
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.
It also comes one day after Dumont was seen talking to a fan who was wearing a gold Lakers' version of Doncic's No. 77 jersey during the second half of Monday's 116-114 home loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
'Fire Nico!' chants were audible during the fourth quarter of the game, in which Dallas squandered a 13-point lead.
The tone of the Mavericks' fan base toward Harrison has changed since he signed a multi-year contract extension in June 2024.
Harrison, 52, accepted responsibility for the trade and defended it by claiming there were concerns over Doncic's physique and commitment to conditioning.
Anthony Davis, who was the key cog in return from the Lakers, was sidelined for six weeks after sustaining an adductor strain in his Dallas debut.
Davis currently is out with a calf strain for the Mavericks, who have limped out of the blocks to a 3-8 record as top overall pick Cooper Flagg adjusts to life in the NBA.
In the loss to the Bucks, Flagg scored a career-high 26 points and pulled down a game-high nine rebounds.
