Cooper Flagg will miss the Dallas Mavericks’ game against the San Antonio Spurs after sustaining a mild left shoulder sprain. The rookie’s status will be reviewed again next week, according to the team.

Flagg injured after hard foul

Flagg hurt his left shoulder during the game after taking a hard foul and hitting the floor. The incident prompted the Mavericks to assess the rookie before confirming his availability for Saturday afternoon’s contest.

Dallas subsequently announced that Flagg had suffered a mild sprain and would not play against San Antonio.

Next update expected next week

The Mavericks have not provided a return date. Instead, the team said Flagg’s condition would be evaluated again next week, leaving his schedule dependent on that assessment.

For now, the confirmed information is limited to his absence from the Spurs clash and the diagnosis of a mild shoulder sprain. Any further update will come after the planned reassessment.
