Cooper Flagg will see his first action in a Dallas Mavericks jersey later this week in the NBA Summer League.
Flagg was the No. 1 overall pick by the Mavericks on June 25. While he’s expected to be the franchise's future star, he will not have to carry the burden of taking on those primary responsibilities as a rookie on the roster that already features Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving.
Until then, Flagg will be the focal point on July 10, when he will be the featured attraction in his debut as the Mavericks take on the Los Angeles Lakers at 8 p.m. ET.
