Mavericks Lose Cooper Flagg with Shoulder Injury Following Hard Foul in 1st Half Against Pacers
- Kyrie Irving led the Dallas Mavericks past the Indiana Pacers 121-105 on Friday in Indianapolis, but the victory was marred by a left shoulder injury to NBA Rookie Cooper Flagg.
- Tyrese Haliburton returned for his first home game in 490 days following an NBA Finals Achilles injury, yet Indiana's play soon turned the initial crowd cheers into boos.
- Dallas built a 30-17 lead on a 14-2 run early, then extended its advantage to 77-43 by halftime, establishing dominance before Flagg's injury halted the Mavericks' momentum.
- After a review, Aaron Nesmith was assessed a flagrant-1 foul for fouling Flagg on a dunk attempt, sparking a shoving match with Naji Marshall before Flagg was ruled out.
- The Mavericks host San Antonio on Saturday night, while the Pacers travel to Brooklyn on Sunday to continue their seasons after the defeat in Indianapolis.
