Duke star Cooper Flagg has confirmed he will be available for the NCAA tournament after suffering an ankle injury during the ACC tournament. NCAA's Dan Gavitt stated that communication from Duke and the ACC reassured that Flagg, the ACC player of the year, would not affect the team's seeding. While he was sidelined, fellow teammate Maliq Brown's shoulder injury poses additional concerns for the team's NCAA readiness. Flagg's health remains pivotal as he is a top NBA draft prospect and a leading candidate for the Wooden Award.
"What we understand from communication with Duke and the ACC is that Cooper Flagg will be available for the NCAA tournament so don't expect that to impact their seeding."
"He is not the only significant injury. We're tracking other injuries from other teams. Player availability is always a concern and a consideration and could potentially impact seeding."
