Just days before the 2024 NBA Finals, the Dallas Mavericks made sure that one of the biggest reasons that they’ve gotten this far in the 2023-24 NBA season gets rewarded in the form of a multi-year extension.
No, we aren’t talking about a player or a coach here. It’s general manager Nico Harrison, who has been gaining the reputation of being one of the best in the business, given the body of work he’s done with the Mavericks.
The Mavericks announced Harrison’s extension on social media.
“The future is bright ✨ We have signed General Manager Nico Harrison to a multi-year contract extension. #MFFL”

Harrison thanked Dallas owner Patrick Dumont for the confidence the Mavericks have shown in him. He also thanked former Mavs majority owner Marc Cuban in a statement.
“I am incredibly grateful to Patrick and the entire Dumont and Adelson family for their continued trust and confidence and to Mark for his willingness to hire an unconventional candidate,” Harrison said. “Patrick and his family have accepted me as their own from day one and I am honored to work alongside them, as well as Jason Kidd, as we continue to build a winning culture in Dallas.”
