Cooper Flagg

Mavericks Injury

Cooper Flagg sustained a left ankle sprain early in the second quarter against the Bulls and will not return for the season finale. Despite the premature end to his rookie season, Flagg’s strong performance positions him as the favorite for Rookie of the Year, edging out competition from former college teammate Kon Knueppel. Flagg exceeded expectations, validating his fourth-round ADP, and is expected to be selected earlier in next year’s fantasy drafts.
