'Pain-free' Flagg ready for Duke's tourney run
Briefly

Cooper Flagg, a prominent player for Duke, reports he is now 'pain free' after an ankle injury that sidelined him during the ACC tournament. He successfully completed a full practice and is eager to compete in his first NCAA tournament game. Duke's coach, Jon Scheyer, noted Flagg's determination to return to play, highlighting his commitment and competitive spirit. The injury, initially concerning, did not result in significant damage, allowing Flagg to rehabilitate adequately with the support of the Duke training staff.
"We've been working through the steps of just getting back to 100%, and I feel very good," Flagg said Thursday. "I'm very confident moving forward."
"He's been itching to get out there," Scheyer said. "I think that says a lot about who he is because a lot of guys would be more patient or not as anxious to get out there."
