After Haralabos Voulgaris reportedly gained power within the Mavericks front office and bothered Luka Doncic, the team then parted with longtime team president Donnie Nelson.

Marc J. Spears of ESPN:

“Donnie was fired. Let’s just be real. Donnie was fired.

I’ve heard that one guy that’s really upset about it is a guy you don’t want to upset about it, the one guy, Luka Doncic. They were really, really close.

While with his Slovenia national team, Luka spoke on the exit of Nelson.

Luka Doncic, from Slovenia with his national team, on Donnie Nelson's Mavericks exit:

"It was kind of tough to me. I really like Donnie. I know him since I was a kid and he was the one that drafted me. It was tough for me seeing that, but I'm not the one making decisions there."

My understanding is that Doncic was not aware of Nelson's departure until yesterday. He basically found out when we did, perhaps a little before, but not until yesterday.

As fully expected, Mavericks fans have already hit the panic button that Luka may be on his way out:

And Cuban fired him for leaking to the press. If we keep Bob then Luka leaves in a few seasons. https://t.co/3IOrAw72Ok
