0:00It's March 5th for the NBA. Let's get into it. Dallas Maverick's rookie Cooper Flag is back in action tonight against the Orlando Magic. The number one overall pick from the 2025 draft has missed the last eight games due to a left midfoot sprain suffered back on February 10th. Coach Jason Kidd confirmed before the game that Flag will log 20 to 25 minutes on the court. The 19-year-old Ford is eager to keep momentum going and hopes to suit up Friday night in Boston. Flag brings strong numbers this season, averaging 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists across 49. Gaines, fans have missed his energy on both ends of the floor. The Maverick's sit at 21 wins and 40 losses, holding 12th place in the Western Conference. His absence hurt during a tough stretch, but the team is glad to have him contributing again. Earlier this week, reports highlighted his recovery progress, and now it's official. Expect Flag to ease back in while chasing more bay performances ahead.
