Cooper Flagg left the Mavericks game against the Nuggets Wednesday night. He did not return to the game, and the team described his injury as being a left ankle sprain.
The No. 1 pick in this year’s NBA draft rolled his ankle while defending Denver forward Peyton Watson in the paint. Flagg went to the locker room but returned to the game, then the Mavs announced the 19-year-old star wouldn’t return to the game at halftime.
