Mavericks' Cooper Flagg Will Miss Game vs. Spurs with Left Shoulder Sprain
- The Dallas Mavericks ruled Cooper Flagg out for Saturday's home game against the San Antonio Spurs after an MRI confirmed a mild left shoulder sprain; the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year will be reevaluated next week.
- Flagg suffered the injury Friday during the Mavericks' 121-105 victory over the Indiana Pacers when Indiana's Aaron Nesmith committed a flagrant-1 foul while contesting a fast-break dunk attempt, sending Flagg crashing onto his left shoulder.
- Before leaving the game, Flagg recorded 14 points, five rebounds, and six assists in approximately 17 minutes, while Kyrie Irving helped steady Dallas by finishing with 24 points to secure the win.
- Mavericks head coach Dusty May said postgame that Flagg was in "good spirits" in the locker room, as Dallas continues its schedule by visiting the Miami Heat on Monday.
- Without their young star, the Mavericks could turn to Naji Marshall and Zaccharie Risacher for additional wing minutes, though the team has not established a specific return date for the 19-year-old.
