Flagg Scores 24 Points, Receives High Praise Amidst Mavericks' GM Search

Cooper Flagg delivered 24 points (8-16 FG, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, and one block in 37 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to the 76ers, marking his fourth consecutive 20-point game. Teammate Naji Marshall lauded Flagg as 'amazing' and a 'dog on both ends,' affirming his status as the No. 1 pick. Meanwhile, the Mavericks are taking several months to hire a new GM, emphasizing the critical importance of this hire to build around Flagg as their franchise cornerstone. The team is also reportedly open to trade offers for other players.
