Despite being out due to a left midfoot sprain, it’s safe to say that Cooper Flagg will run away with the Rookie of the Year honors this season. He’s been consistently on top of the rookie rankings, putting up 20-6-4 splits so far for the Dallas Mavericks.
In the month that passed between their last two wins, the Dallas Mavericks tweaked their roster by dealing Anthony Davis and lost Cooper Flagg to a foot injury, but still finished games with the same frustrating result until Sunday night.
Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg was on Team USA’s Select Team in 2024 and more than held his own against NBA superstars. Flagg, who will be 21 years old during the summer of 2028 when the Summer Olympics take place in Los Angeles, is considered an “easy addition” for Team USA’s 2028 roster, according to Vincent Goodwill of ESPN.
Good players tend to succeed in the NBA. Sometimes, though, they find themselves in terrible situations but still find ways to over-achieve. These are the 20 players who carried the worst NBA teams.
The Dallas Mavericks are building around Cooper Flagg, but they need more than just him to make a team that can compete in the Western Conference. The Mavericks are also in need of role players, but they may have one of their long-term options in point guard Brandon Williams.

The ever-growing issue of tanking has taken over the NBA narrative and conversations. Commissioner Adam Silver has made it clear that he plans on implementing a solution to prevent teams from tanking and providing a poor product on the court.
Mark Cuban isn’t done poking holes in the NBA’s tanking logic. As the league ramps up its anti-tanking push — with commissioner Adam Silver openly acknowledging the issue has gotten worse — the former Mavericks majority owner took to social media to raise a fairly uncomfortable follow-up question.
When Klay Thompson signed with the Dallas Mavericks in 2024, he felt that he put himself in a position to win a fifth championship. But now, Luka Doncic is no longer around, Anthony Davis only played 29 games before being traded, and Kyrie Irving is still recovering from knee surgery.
