The Dallas Mavericks are locking down their architect for the future. The team announced today that they have signed General Manager Nico Harrison to a multi-year contract extension. This news comes just days before the Mavericks are set to make their third appearance in the NBA Finals, a feat undoubtedly influenced by Harrison’s sharp leadership.
Harrison joined the Mavericks as GM on June 28, 2021, bringing with him a wealth of experience from a 19-year career at Nike and a successful six-year stint playing professional basketball in Europe. In his short time at the helm, Harrison has made significant moves that have propelled the Mavericks toward championship contention.
One of Harrison’s most impactful decisions was securing the future of franchise cornerstone Luka Doncic with a hefty $215 million contract extension. He further bolstered the roster by acquiring key players like Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford, and P.J. Washington Jr., each of whom has contributed to the team’s current success.
The details of Harrison’s new contract haven’t been disclosed, but it’s clear the Mavericks are confident he’s the right person to lead them into the next chapter. With the NBA Finals just around the corner, Harrison’s strategic vision and decisive actions have positioned the Mavericks as serious contenders for the title.
