OKLAHOMA CITY — On Tuesday, the Dallas Mavericks fired general manager Nico Harrison, ending his run atop the front office nine months after Harrison made the decision to trade franchise cornerstone Luka Dončić. On Thursday, Dončić, in his first public comments since Harrison’s dismissal, chose not to pile on.
“The city of Dallas, the players, fans, they will always have a special place in my heart,” said Dončić. “I thought I was going to stay there forever. But I didn’t. It will always be a special place for me. Always have to call it home. Right now I am focused on the Lakers. Trying to move on. Obviously there is going to be a part of me [in Dallas]. Just trying to move on. Focus on what we’re doing here.”
