“On May 30, 2024, the Mavericks won the Western Conference championship. We came up short in the NBA Finals, but we all agreed our future was bright. As fans of this franchise, you have every right to demand a commitment to success from us.
“No one associated with the Mavericks organization is happy with the start of what we all believed would be a promising season. You have high expectations for the Mavericks, and I share them with you. When the results don’t meet expectations, it’s my responsibility to act. I’ve made the decision to part ways with General Manager Nico Harrison.
“Though the majority of the 2025-26 season remains to be played, and I know our players are deeply committed to a winning culture, this decision was critical to moving our franchise forward in a positive direction.
“I understand the profound impact these difficult last several months have had. Please know that I’m fully committed to the success of the Mavericks.
“Thank you for your support, thank you for holding us accountable, and thank you for your passion and for your patience. You deserve transparency and a team that reflects your spirit. Our goal is to return winning basketball to Dallas and win championships. Our family is committed to that mission and to continuing to invest in Dallas and the Mavericks’ future.
“Please join me in continuing to cheer on our players and supporting all of those who work to make this organization the best it can be.
“Go Mavs!
“Thank you,
“Patrick”
Dumont notably thanked fans for holding the team accountable, and acknowledged how trying the past several months have been for fans, seemingly acknowledging that the Dončić trade was a mistake.
The Mavs are 3-8 to start this season, though they are still without guard Kyrie Irving’s services, and forward Anthony Davis, the key piece the Mavs received in the Doncic trade, has missed multiple games. The Mavs have had one of the NBA’s worst offenses, ranking second-to-last in points per possession.
No. 1 overall draft pick Cooper Flagg has struggled, too, averaging 15.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.2 turnovers on 42.4% shooting.
Harrison will be replaced in the interim by Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi as co-general managers.
The Mavs will start the post-Harrison era Wednesday when they host the Phoenix Suns at 7:30 p.m. at American Airlines Center.
