Cooper Flagg Suffers Mild Shoulder Sprain After Hard Foul

During the Dallas Mavericks' second game of the season against the Indiana Pacers, Cooper Flagg was sent hard to the floor by Aaron Nesmith on a breakaway play. Flagg left the game and underwent an MRI, revealing a mild shoulder sprain that will cause him to miss a few games. Fortunately, the injury is not serious. He joins former Duke roommate Kon Knueppel on the sidelines, as Knueppel continues recovering from a hamstring issue and is expected to return soon.
