<p>The Dallas Mavericks fired team president Nico Harrison on Tuesday, a development that was leaked to <a href="https://x.com/TheSteinLine/status/1988263021353767113">multiple</a> <a href="https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1988265906015756576">reporters</a> then confirmed <a href="https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1988298977553580378">in an open letter</a> from Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont. This came together very quickly. The team is 3–8 after Monday's home loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, and though the Mavs are beset by key injuries to Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving, it is impossible to ignore that the team's roster is insanely out of whack, while 6-foot-9 rookie power forward Cooper Flagg is the team's only dynamic ball-handler and has thus been assigned the role of point guard. The Mavericks have already lost at home to the Washington Wizards and New Orleans Pelicans, two of the league's really profoundly shitty and dysfunctional teams. Dumont did not attend either of those losses; had he, he would've heard his home crowd <a href="https://defector.com/nico-harrison-mavericks-fans-and-rooting-against-your-guys">chanting loudly for Harrison's head</a>. Dumont was in attendance Monday night, for the first time since the Mavericks were nuked at home in their season opener, and the chants boomed down during a disturbing late collapse. Half a day later, Harrison is a goner.</p>

<p>By one measure, Dumont picked a good night to make his non-triumphant return to a Mavs game. Flagg, Dallas's hot-shot rookie, had a great game against the Bucks, posting a career-high 26 points on 15 shots, while stuck out of position and surrounded by mismatched supporting pieces. Flagg is terrific. Late in the game, with the Mavericks in the process of choking away a 13-point fourth-quarter lead, Flagg dribbled toward a screen on the right wing and the Bucks surrendered a defensive switch; the new defender, Gary Trent Jr., lunged to Flagg's left, and the rookie immediately roasted him with a spin the other way, then drove directly at Giannis Antetokounmpo, one of the most intimidating defenders in the sport. For a second it looked like Flagg intended to attempt a dunk that surely would've reduced the building to rubble, but instead he muscled up and banked home a tough layup through contact to put the Mavericks up a point. It made for a bitchin' topper on an extremely encouraging individual performance for a player who now carries the weight of this teetering franchise on his back.</p>
