Mavericks Rookie Flagg Out of All-Star Game Due to Injury

Dallas Mavericks' number one draft pick, Cooper Flagg, has been sidelined from the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend's Rising Stars tournament. He suffered a sprain to the midsection of his left foot during the Mavericks' recent 120-111 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Despite playing over 35 minutes and scoring 27 points in that game, Flagg's injury has ruled him out of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers and his anticipated All-Star debut. He was selected to 'Team Melo' for the 'Rising Stars' mini-tournament, which features first and second-year players alongside G League talent.

Flagg has quickly established himself as the Mavericks' leader, averaging 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. His exceptional performance has positioned him as the frontrunner for the Rookie of the Year award.
