Where will the Dallas Mavericks turn following their decision to fire former general manager Nico Harrison? Co-interim general managers Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi have big decisions to make as the franchise decides which direction to take after their worst 12-game start since the 2017-18 season.

Cooper Flagg is going through a bit of a rough start in his rookie year for the Mavericks, but Bucks head coach Doc Rivers believes in him.

Over the last three games with Russell in the starting lineup alongside Flagg, PJ Washington, Max Christie and Daniel Gafford, the Mavericks' offensive rating is 78.4. For comparison, the 2002-03 Nuggets hold the record for the lowest offensive rating in NBA history at 92.2.

Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg may not stay the No. 1 overall pick in the draft if he were to be part of the 2026 class, according to Yahoo Sports' Kevin O'Connor.

The loss dropped Cooper Flagg and the Mavs to 3-9. It was also their second loss in a row, as they started their four-game homestand with a 116-114 defeat to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.

Dallas opened a new chapter after firing GM Nico Harrison, but the result looked familiar. The Mavericks committed 21 turnovers in a 123-114 loss to the Suns despite a strong showing from rookie Cooper Flagg.

Kelly said her repost wasn't about Nico but the distraction that the "Fire Nico" chants were causing the players.
