Dallas Mavericks 2025-Present (1 season)

Cooper Flagg: Breaking News

Named to All-Rookie Team

Flagg (ankle) was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team for the 2025-26 season Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Flagg was a unanimous selection and is the first Maverick since Luka Doncic to earn a spot on the team. The 19-year-old is coming off a magnificent inaugural campaign, finishing with averages of 21.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.2 steals across 33.5 minutes in 70 games, good enough to earn the Rookie of the Year award. With Dallas recently parting ways with head coach Jason Kidd, it's unknown how his departure will impact Flagg, specifically, what position he will play from game-to-game. Still, he is anticipated to remain in the All-Star conversation for years to come while potentially flirting with an MVP award somewhere down the line. Flagg's only noteworthy flaws were his 2.3 turnovers per contest as well as his subpar shooting from behind the arc, with the former Duke Blue Devil sinking only 29.5 percent of his three-point shots. He also suffered an ankle injury at the end of the season, although he's expected to be ready to go well before the start of the new year.

Brings home ROY honors

Flagg (ankle) was named the 2025-26 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year on Monday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Flagg was more than deserving of this honor, as he averaged 21.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 33.5 minutes per game over 70 appearances. He presumably solidified the award down the stretch of the regular season, when he put up 51 points April 3 against Orlando, which was followed up with a 45-point showing two days later against the Lakers. Flagg becomes the third Maverick in franchise history to win the award, joining Jason Kidd (1994-95) and Luka Doncic (2018-19).

Won't return Sunday

Flagg (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Bulls. Flagg will not return after exiting the game early in the second quarter. He concludes his rookie-season finale with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and a steal in nine minutes. Tyler Smith and John Poulakidas are candidates for extra minutes with Flagg out.
