Flagg Has Rough Shooting Night in Summer League Debut

Cooper Flagg made his Dallas Mavericks debut on July 11, 2025, in the Las Vegas Summer League against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Flagg's debut followed his selection as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and after a dominant one-season college career at Duke.
Flagg played nearly 32 minutes, scored 10 points on 5-of-21 shooting, including 0-of-5 from three-point range, and contributed six rebounds and four assists.
Coach Jason Kidd highlighted Flagg's composure and versatility on the court, emphasizing that with a player who can manage the game, score, and distribute effectively, it's crucial to keep the ball with him.
Despite Flagg's mixed shooting and scoreless second half, the Mavericks won 87-85 and remain hopeful he can develop into a key player for their 2025-26 season ambitions.
