Cooper Flagg continues dealing with a midfoot injury suffered prior to the NBA All-Star Break and will miss the Dallas Mavericks’ Sunday afternoon matchup against the Indiana Pacers.
The star rookie and former Duke star suffered the injury on Feb. 10 in a loss at Phoenix, causing him to miss the final two games before the break for the All-Star game. Flagg was also supposed to compete in the Rising Stars Game that weekend, but missed out due to the injury, instead flying to Durham to watch the No. 3 Blue Devils battle No. 20 Clemson.
The Mavericks are a disappointing 19-36 in Flagg’s rookie season, but he has been one of the lone bright spots for the team, averaging 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 49 games.
