Dallas Mavericks executive Nico Harrison will address reporters today for just the second time since the team traded franchise star Luka Doncic.
With less than 24 hours notice, the organization reportedly invited select journalists who cover the team for a "small media roundtable discussion" with Harrison and Mavericks CEO Rick Welts. Harrison has spoken to the media only once before today after Doncic was sent to Los Angeles.
However, there were some eyebrow-raising stipulations about this particular invitation for the press.
Here is more information about this meeting (via WFAA):
"The invite also clearly stipulated that no cameras or recording devices would be allowed in the meeting.
Instead, the team said it would provide a transcript of the discussion to attending media members after the fact.
It is not yet clear what the statement Welts and Harrison are set to provide will address, why the meeting is not being held as a press conference, or why no cameras or recording devices are being allowed."
The decision to forbid microphones and cameras is a curious one, especially considering how many questions reporters will likely have about the direction of the franchise without Doncic.
