Nico Harrison is looking to move forward after he was fired as general manager of the Dallas Mavericks this week.
According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Harrison was in “good spirits” a few hours after the move was announced. Haynes offered an update on Harrison on a Tuesday night episode of NBA TV’s The Association: Post Up.
“He’s going to take some time to be with himself and his family and just get away from everything,” Haynes said. “It’s been a tough situation. I think when you look at his tenure with the Dallas Mavericks, you had some good times and definitely had some bad times. He guided the team to the NBA Finals and they have visions of getting further than that. Ultimately, his tenure is going to be defined by the Luka Doncic trade.”
The Mavericks officially announced that they were parting ways with Harrison on Tuesday. Harrison served as Dallas’ general manager and president of basketball operations for four seasons.
