Mavs Rookie Cooper Flagg (Ankle) Doubtful vs. Jazz
Flagg, averaging 18.8 points and 6.3 rebounds, is expected to miss the Mavericks' game after a left ankle sprain sustained defending Peyton Watson.
- The Mavericks listed Dallas rookie Cooper Flagg out for Thursday’s game against the Utah Jazz at the American Airlines Center due to a sprained left ankle, the team announced on Jan. 15, 2026.
- While defending Peyton Watson in Denver, Cooper Flagg rolled his left ankle at the 6:01 mark of the second quarter, limped to the locker room, briefly returned, then was ruled out at halftime after an earlier Monday roll.
- Flagg’s season averages indicate he scored six points in 15 minutes Wednesday and averages 18.8 points and 6.3 rebounds, starting 40 of 41 games this season.
- Coach Jason Kidd confirmed Cooper Flagg won’t play Thursday, compounding a depleted Dallas Mavericks roster with four players, including Anthony Davis, ruled out.
- It would mark only his second missed game this season, with his only other absence on Nov. 19, and the team said it remains uncertain if Cooper Flagg can return Saturday against the Utah Jazz.
