Cooper Flagg’s playing status against the Timberwolves
Given his question mark on injury reportflagg is currently in doubt as to whether he will play against the timberwolves on wednesday night. Flagg was originally listed as questionable before the Mavericks’ final game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, but that game ended up being postponed due to travel issues due to the winter storm.
Meanwhile, Ryan Nembhardt is likely for the Mavericks on Wednesday, while Anthony Davis will remain out of the lineup.
For the Timberwolves, superstar Anthony Edwards is questionable with a right leg injury.
Flagg has been on the Mavericks injury reports for the last few weeks with an ankle problem, he has missed some time but played well when he was on the floor. Right now, Flagg is one of the lone beacons of hope for a Mavericks team otherwise embroiled in trade rumors, particularly surrounding Davis, who is currently out with a hand injury.
On Wednesday, the Mavericks will take on a Timberwolves team that has been on a tear lately, recently losing five straight games before finally getting back into the win column earlier this week against the Golden State Warriors. Of course, the Mavericks’ defensive game plan will change drastically depending on whether Edwards is able to take this game.
Either way, tip-off between Dallas and Minnesota is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET.
