Cooper Flagg's stint in the NBA Summer League has come to an end after only two games. According to journalist Marc Stein on the DLLS Sports program, the Dallas Mavericks have decided not to field the 2025 Draft number 1 pick for the remainder of the summer. They want him to rest and prepare for his rookie season, where he is sure to be an important starter.
Flagg played two games wearing the Mavericks jersey: Thursday's victory against the Los Angeles Lakers and Saturday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. His last appearance this summer was in that second game, as he is not expected to play on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets.
On Saturday, Flagg had a standout performance against the Spurs, scoring 31 points after an explosive second quarter. However, his effort wasn't enough to avoid the defeat against San Antonio, led by Dylan Harper, the second pick of the Draft.
In his Dallas debut on Thursday, Flagg had a much more discreet performance, with only 10 points and a 5 for 21 shooting. The player himself described that game as "one of the worst of my life."
Now, time to rest until the Training Camp.
