Flagg Shakes Off Ankle Scare for 27-Point, All-Around Performance

Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg briefly exited Monday's game against the Nets with a left ankle injury but quickly returned, missing less than four minutes. He then delivered a stellar performance in the 113-105 win, recording 27 points (10-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists, three steals, and one block in 35 minutes. This marked a strong bounce-back outing for Flagg, who led the team in scoring and achieved his sixth game this season with at least 25 points, five rebounds, and five assists, also tying a season-high in steals.
