Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg’s mom, Kelly Flagg, has cleared the air after she went viral for seemingly reacting to general manager Nico Harrison’s firing.

Kelly shared a post via X on Monday, November 10, in which a Mavericks fan complained about Cooper, 18, having to hear “fire Nico” chants while he is shooting free throws. The post called Harrison, 52, a distraction. The organization fired him the next day.

“Cooper Flagg’s mom has entered the chat 😳,” The Athletic’s NBA X account wrote on Tuesday. “Kelly Flagg reposted a fan tweet about Nico Harrison to her X account.”

“Retweet wasn’t about firing Nico,” Kelly replied in a quote-post. “It was about the fact that the fans were chanting during our free throws. Our guys had nothing to do with what went down.”
