Latest update on Cooper Flagg's health status after his injury in the NCAA

Last Thursday, Cooper Flagg set off alarm bells. The favorite to be the number 1 in the 2025 NBA Draft and star of Duke suffered an ankle injury that seemed like it would keep him out for the remainder of the NCAA tournament.

However, it is expected that Flagg will be cleared by medical staff immediately. This is reflected in the statements from Duke's medical team as reported by ESPN:

"He's getting better. Ankle sprain. All images were negative. However, he twisted it pretty well. It's a good sprain. He's not going to play in the ACC title game. He can't play. But our goal is to have him ready for the NCAA tournament. We have to see how he progresses this weekend with the swelling and what he can do."
