Cooper Flagg Makes History as Youngest Player to Score 50 Points

At 19, Cooper Flagg became the youngest player in NBA history to record a 50-point game, dropping 51 points in a 138-127 loss to the Magic. He shot 19-for-30 from the field and 6-for-9 from deep, adding six rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block. Flagg scored 24 points in the fourth quarter following a controversial no-call that led to team ejections. His historic performance reinforces his strong candidacy for the Rookie of the Year award as he continues to drive the Mavericks' offense.
