"Obviously, I didn't have an incredibly long relationship with Nico, but from what I knew, he seemed like a great guy and we had a really solid relationship," [Flagg said](https://therookiewire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/rookie/2025/11/13/mavericks-cooper-flagg-nico-harrison-firing-reaction/87252342007/).
