In his summer league debut on July 10, Cooper Flagg, the No. 1 overall pick, struggled with shooting, scoring only 10 points on 5-of-21 attempts but contributed significantly with six rebounds, four assists, and three steals, leading the Mavericks to an 87-85 victory over the Lakers, where Bronny James also featured. Despite his inefficiency, Flagg showcased potential, stating, “Not up to my standards. But I’m gonna be all right.”
