Flagg Impresses in Mavs' Summer League Debut

News summary

Cooper Flagg, the Dallas Mavericks' No. 1 overall pick, debuted in the NBA Summer League with 10 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, and a crucial late-game block during an 87-85 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, despite shooting struggles. At just 18, Flagg impressed with his versatility and defensive impact, and Mavericks coach Jason Kidd is considering using him at point guard while Kyrie Irving is out. Undrafted rookie Ryan Nembhard led Dallas with 21 points and five assists. Bronny James contributed eight points, two rebounds, and two assists for the Lakers, missing a game-tying three-pointer in the closing seconds. Both rookies acknowledged they could improve after the closely contested matchup. Anticipation remains high for Flagg’s next Summer League game, which will feature a matchup with Spurs rookie Dylan Harper.
