Cooper Flagg struggles as Mavericks fall to winless Kings 115-100

Cooper Flagg endured a tough offensive performance during the Dallas Mavericks' 115-100 home loss to the previously winless Sacramento Kings. Sacramento's defense crowded the paint, sending multiple defenders at Flagg and daring Dallas to shoot from deep as the team went 7-for-33 from 3-point range. Flagg grabbed his shoulder late in the fourth quarter and apologized to teammates in the locker room afterward, though veteran Daniel Gafford expressed full confidence he will bounce back.
