Dumont’s involvement in the decision was a strong indication of his eroded trust in general manager Nico Harrison, who was fired Tuesday morning. Harrison had been in favor of Davis returning, sources said.

Davis was recovering from an abdominal injury at the time of the trade, and he rushed to return for the team’s first home game after the deal, sustaining a related adductor strain after dominating the first half of a Feb. 8 win over the Houston Rockets. That adductor strain sidelined Davis for the next six weeks.
