Flagg joins LeBron James and Kevin Durant as only third teenager with at least 40 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Cooper Flagg scored 42 points against the Utah Jazz, breaking the record for the most points by an 18-year-old in NBA history, previously held by LeBron James. Despite his impressive performance, which included five rebounds and six assists, the Dallas Mavericks lost 140-133, and Flagg expressed disappointment over the outcome. He tied Mark Aguirre for the most points by a rookie in Mavericks history and is focused on improving and helping his team win. Flagg’s recent play has showcased his potential as a key player for Dallas moving forward.
