Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg returns to the starting lineup against the Orlando Magic after an eight-game absence due to a left mid-foot sprain. The No. 1 pick from last year’s NBA draft has been a standout, averaging 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in 49 games, leading all NBA rookies in scoring. At just 19, Flagg made history by scoring 49 points against the Charlotte Hornets on January 29, becoming the youngest player to reach 45 points in a game. He has missed a total of 12 games this season.
