foot injury
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) --- Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg is back in the starting
lineup for Dallas against the Orlando Magic on Thursday night after missing
eight games with a foot injury.
Flagg, the No. 1 pick in last year's NBA draft, was sidelined with a left
mid-foot sprain. He last played at Phoenix on Feb. 10.
The 6-foot-9 forward out of Duke is averaging a team-leading 20.4 points, 6.6
rebounds and 4.1 assists in 49 games. He has missed a total of 12 games in his
rookie season.
The 19-year-old Flagg leads all NBA rookies in scoring, and ranks fourth in
rebounds and second in assists. Against the Charlotte Hornets on Jan. 29, he
scored 49 points and became the youngest player to score at least 45 points in
an NBA game.
