Kon Knueppel Is Giving Former Duke Teammate Cooper Flagg a Challenge in NBA Rookie of the Year Race
- During Thursday's game at the American Airlines Center, Cooper Flagg, Dallas Mavericks rookie, scored a career-high 49 points in a 123-121 loss to the Charlotte Hornets.
- Long ago, Cliff Robinson's 45-point teen mark from March 9, 1980, set a historical benchmark, and Flagg, who turned 19 in December, achieved this in game 44 of his career.
- Shooting efficiently, Flagg converted 20 of 29 shots, grabbed 10 rebounds, hit a tying 3-pointer with 38.5 seconds left, and eclipsed Mark Aguirre's rookie scoring mark.
- The result extended Charlotte Hornets' run to five consecutive wins while Dallas Mavericks dropped to three straight home losses.
- Flagg will have a chance to even the score when the Mavericks visit the Hornets on March 3 in a key rematch between leading Rookie of the Year candidates.
