Cooper Flagg using video game to prepare for his NBA debut
""I've been talking to Cooper Flagg a lot the last couple of weeks, and he's already trying to shape up how he's going to fit into that team by playing the NBA2K26 game with him, integrated with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis," Singh told Alder Almo of Heavy Sports. "He might not get to play with Kyrie for a minute, so it's kind of cool that he gets to simulate that, see how the off-the-ball movement is.""
""NBA 2K26, the latest edition of the game, just came out this week. It is not necessarily a perfect representation of how things will look when Flagg, Davis, and Irving are all on the floor together, but it is as close as Flagg is likely to get right now. Irving will miss most, if not all of the upcoming season as he continues his recovery from the torn ACL he suffered in March.""
Cooper Flagg has used NBA2K26 to simulate how he might fit into Dallas Mavericks lineups alongside Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis. NBA 2K26 released this week and provides a rough approximation of on-court spacing, movement, and roles. The simulation cannot perfectly replicate real-game chemistry but offers the closest option for preparatory study at this time. Kyrie Irving will miss most, if not all, of the upcoming season while recovering from a torn ACL suffered in March. NBA2K remains a serious tool for many NBA players to explore roles and experiment with rotations. Flagg enters the Mavericks as the No. 1 draft pick with high expectations and possible unconventional usage under coach Jason Kidd.
