Dallas’ plethora of injury information with Cooper Flagg has been ruled out
The Dallas Mavericks will resume the regular season after the All-Star break on Friday with a road game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Mavericks are looking to snap a nine-game losing streak, but they are it will be short on the injury report with the star rookie Cooper Flagg aside.
Cooper Flagg has been ruled out on the Mavericks injury report for the game against the Timberwolves as he deals with a sprained foot. Flagg was injured first again on February 10, just before the All-Star break. He missed the team’s last game before the break against the Los Angeles Lakers and was ruled out for the Rising Stars challenge.
In that game against the Suns, Flagg finished with 27 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes. He shot 8 of 20 from the field and 11 of 14 from the free throw line. It was just another strong performance in what has become a regular occurrence for the No. 1 overall pick.
Flagg appeared in 49 games for the Mavericks as a rookie, logging just over 34 minutes per game. He averaged 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 48.2 percent from the field, 30.2 percent from the 3-point line and 80.4 percent from the free throw line.
He leads all rookies in scoring and is third in rookie double-doubles behind only Derrick Quinn and Maxime Raynaud, respectively. Flagg appears to be the favorite for the NBA Rookie of the Year award, though he has stiff competition from Charlotte Hornets wing Kon Knuepel.
In addition to Flagg, the Mavericks had several other key players appear on the injury report. Max Christie (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (ankle) are questionable with injuries, while Ryan Nembhardt, Myles Kelly and Moussa Sis are on G League assignment. Caleb Martin is also out with an ankle injury, while Derek Lively II and Kyrie Irving will be sidelined for the rest of the season.
