Cooper Flagg to Start at Point Guard for Mavericks in NBA Debut
Cooper Flagg will debut with Dallas Mavericks, joining a veteran team aiming to improve from last season's 39-43 record and early playoff exit, coach Jason Kidd said.
- On Wednesday, Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg will play his first NBA regular-season game after dominating high school and college before arriving in Dallas.

- Flagg said the Mavericks' depth takes that pressure off him, allowing focus on contributing, while analysts say if he becomes an All-Star and Kyrie Irving returns to form, Dallas could contend.
