Cooper Flagg News: Records four swats in return

Flagg (foot) produced 18 points (7-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists, five rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 26 minutes in Thursday's 115-114 loss to the Magic.

Flagg showed a bit of rust in his first game since Feb. 10, which was to be expected after nearly one month of rehabbing from a left mid-foot sprain. However, he was spectacular as a rim protector by setting a new career high in swats. Flagg actually surpassed his projected 20-to-25-minute range by one minute, but depending on how his body responds from Thursday's action, he should still have a chance to suit up for the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set Friday against the Celtics.
