Luka Doncic raves about Mavericks fans when asked about Nico Harrison’s firing
NY Post
Luka Doncic has all the love for Mavericks fans after the firing of Nico Harrison.
After Harrison was sent packing by Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont, Doncic commented on the dismissal by sharing some love for his supporters in Dallas.
“Just, the city of Dallas, the fans, the players, they’ll always have a special place in my heart,” Doncic said when asked to comment on Harrison’s ouster. “I thought I was going to stay there forever, but I didn’t. So, that will always be a special place for me. I will always call it home. But right now, I’m focused on the Lakers and trying to move on. But, obviously, always there will be a part of me there. But just trying to move on and focus on what I’m doing here.”
Mavericks fans were in outright revolt after Doncic was traded by Harrison to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a first-round pick.
Fans protested outside American Airlines Arena, chanted “Fire Nico” at every opportunity – both at Mavericks games and even at college contests –– and some were even ejected from Dallas home games for anti-Harrison signs.
The Mavericks not-so-subtly leaked to the media that the shocking trade no one saw coming was mostly due to Doncic’s poor conditioning and bad diet.
