Mavericks' Cooper Flagg Questionable Monday with Back Contusion

Cooper Flagg is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to a back contusion. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NBA Draft may have sustained the injury during the Mavericks' 121-114 loss to the 76ers on Saturday, where he played 37 minutes and recorded 24 points, four rebounds, three assists, and one block. If Flagg is unable to play, Max Christie (illness), Klay Thompson (knee), Naji Marshall, and Caleb Martin could see increased roles.
