"MINNEAPOLIS -- Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg will miss the team's first game back from the All-Star break at Minnesota on Friday night with a left midfoot sprain, an injury that kept the No. 1 pick out of the Rising Stars event. Coach Jason Kidd told reporters in Minnesota on Thursday that Flagg was considered day-to-day. The 19-year-old also was ruled out of the final game before the break against the Los Angeles Lakers after getting injured in a loss at Phoenix on Feb. 10."
"The former Duke standout attended two games at his alma mater during the break. Flagg was seen in a walking boot when the Blue Devils beat Clemson on Saturday, but wasn't wearing one in a photo the team posted Thursday on X of him getting ready to board the plane for the trip to play the Timberwolves. Dallas has two more road games after that."
Cooper Flagg will miss the Mavericks' first game back from the All-Star break with a left midfoot sprain and is listed day-to-day. The injury kept the No. 1 pick out of the Rising Stars event and forced him out of the final pre-break game after he was hurt in a Feb. 10 loss at Phoenix; an MRI revealed the sprain. Flagg attended games at Duke during the break and was seen in a walking boot, though he was later photographed boarding the team plane. The Mavericks are 19-35, out of playoff contention and headed to the draft lottery. Flagg has missed six games this season and is averaging 20.4 points and 6.6 assists; his first missed game was due to an illness in November.
