A day after Dallas Mavericks fans were chanting \u201cFire Nico\u201d, the struggling NBA franchise has parted ways with general manager Nico Harrison.<\/p>\n

\n The man who traded five-time NBA All-Star Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers nine months ago will be relieved of his duties after a three-win, eight-loss start
\n to the season.\n <\/p>\n

That leaves them second-to-last in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

The decision comes a day after \u201cFire Nico\u201d chants filled their home stadium during a defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision reflects our continued commitment to building a championship-calibre organisation, one that delivers for our players, our partners, and most importantly, our fans,\u201d team governor Patrick Dumont said in a statement to ESPN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NZ Herald 11 Nov, 2025 06:02 PM2 mins to read Subscribe to listenAccess to Herald Premium articles require…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130071,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[74,4995,89882,25056,89881,9517,22397,2079,13687,2294,20543,20916,89880,93,89878,3234,111,139,89879,37968,69,89883,213,666,780,1955,3608,102],"class_list":["post-130070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-after","tag-away","tag-chanting","tag-dallas","tag-doncic","tag-fans","tag-favourite","tag-fire","tag-franchise","tag-general","tag-gm","tag-harrison","tag-luka","tag-manager","tag-mavericks","tag-months","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nico","tag-nine","tag-nz","tag-parted","tag-sports","tag-struggling","tag-trading","tag-ways","tag-were","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130070\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
