Mavericks fans demand firing of GM Nico Harrison after losing streak, trade fallout, and roster struggles.

Dallas Mavericks fans chanted "Fire Nico" during a 117-107 loss to the Washington Wizards, marking the team’s second straight defeat to open the 2025-26 season. The backlash targets general manager Nico Harrison, following the trade of Luka Doncic to the Lakers, whose success has intensified fan frustration. The Mavericks rank last in offensive efficiency and are struggling defensively, with no clear point guard after Kyrie Irving’s season-ending injury. Rookie Cooper Flagg has been thrust into a starting role, and D’Angelo Russell has seen limited minutes. Coach Jason Kidd acknowledged fan discontent but urged patience as the team adjusts to its new roster.
