ESPN Announcer Had Weird Comment About Cooper Flagg’s Parents After Duke Star’s Injury

Cooper Flagg's parents were at Thursday's Duke-Georgia Tech ACC tournament quarterfinal. | @ESPN

The No. 1-ranked Duke men's basketball team suffered a major scare in Thursday's win over Georgia Tech when Cooper Flagg went down with an ankle injury and didn't return to action. The freshman star twisted his left ankle after coming down with a rebound and had to be helped back to the locker room in a wheelchair.

Flagg later returned to the bench with his ankle taped up, but he didn't play in the second half and his status for the rest of the ACC tournament is not yet known.
