Dallas Mavericks Face Fan Chants to Fire GM Nico Harrison Amid 0-2 NBA Start

The Dallas Mavericks have started the 2025-26 NBA season with two consecutive losses, leading to growing fan frustration and chants of "Fire Nico!" directed at general manager Nico Harrison. The dissatisfaction stems largely from Harrison's controversial decision to trade star Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers earlier in the year, which many fans see as a betrayal of the team's championship hopes. Despite the addition of No. 1 draft pick Cooper Flagg and veteran Anthony Davis' solid performances, the team has struggled, losing by significant margins to the San Antonio Spurs and the Washington Wizards. Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd acknowledged the fans' frustrations but urged patience, noting the team is new and still learning to play together. Meanwhile, Flagg remained focused on improving his game and helping the team despite the vocal discontent in the stands. The pressure on Harrison and the front office continues to mount as the Mavericks seek to recover from the disappointing start.
