The majority of the big names will be on the sidelines tonight when the short-handed Dallas Mavericks (32-33) take on the San Antonio Spurs (26-36). No Anthony Davis. No Kyrie Irving. No Victor Wembanyama.

The Dallas Mavericks are currently confronting a significant injury crisis, with only seven players remaining available for the games.

This is, of course, not the first time that fans have so publicly united to declare their desire to see Harrison go away. The "Fire Nico" chant once broke out during an SMU Mustangs game. It is the same outcry Mavericks fans have been voicing out inside and outside Dallas' home court, the American Airlines Center.

The Mavericks, of course, shocked the sports world when they traded star guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers last month. Kyrie Irving was then lost for the season last week when he tore his ACL and Anthony Davis, who the Mavs got in exchange for Doncic, has been out with an injury.

Reinforcements aren't on the way for the injury-ravaged Dallas Mavericks due to their proximity to the first apron, which makes them a cautionary tale about hard caps.

In the second half of the Mavericks-Suns game, power forward Dwight Powell went to the locker room after colliding with Kessler Edwards when both players went for a loose ball. His injury is the sixth to the Dallas frontcourt as Dallas came into the game missing Anthony Davis,

The Mavericks have lost five games in a row and seven of their last eight — and their injury problems are only getting worse.

Luka Doncic has led the Los Angeles Lakers to the second spot in the Western Conference while the Dallas Mavericks can only watch as everything falls apart.

Dallas is looking to break its five-game slide with a win over San Antonio. The teams play Monday for the first time this season.

A season of promise has been shattered unlike anything we’ve ever seen in sports, & the Mavs may have but 1 fix
