Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban invited a fan back to sit courtside after he and several others were ejected from a game earlier this week for protesting the Luka Doncic trade,

Enough fans were ejected that it warranted an article on ESPN where Tim MacMahon confirmed that two fans were thrown out after minority owner Mark Cuban yelled at them to "Shut the f--- up and sit the f--- down!" One of the fans involved was wearing a t-shirt featuring owner Miram Adelson wearing a clown nose. He confirmed the story on X.

Even more than a week after the Dallas Mavericks stunned the NBA world and traded Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, many fans are still stunned that the team would trade the 25-year-old star. Even Klay Thompson — the team’s starting shooting guard — understood why fans were so upset.

One fan was kicked out by security for mouthing the words “Fire Nico” while on the Jumbotron to sing Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and later showing off a sign with the same message during Dallas’ 129-128 loss to the Kings in overtime.

Multiple Mavs fans were escorted from American Airlines Center during Monday night’s home game against the Sacramento Kings over violations of the NBA’s code of conduct. Among the fans were two who held up signs reading “FIRE NICO,” in reference to Dallas General Manager Nico Harrison.

Dallas Mavericks fans have directed their ire at general manager Nico Harrison since the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. One of a pair of fans who were recently thrown out of a game for chanting "Fire Nico" got free courtside seats from minority owner Mark Cuban.
