Cooper Flagg made his NBA (Summer League) debut on Thursday night when the Dallas Mavericks played the Los Angeles Lakers in Las Vegas. The 18-year-old forward finished with ten points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block while shooting 5/21 from the field and 0/5 from the three-point range in 32 minutes of playing time.

Flagg finished with 10 points as the Dallas Mavericks defeated Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers 87-85 on Thursday.

"I can't lose that defensive drive that will get me on the floor," James told reporters in a clip that generated plenty of attention (2:20 mark).

He predicts a two-year, $5 million contract.
