Flagg hasn't been making as much noise as some of the other rookies in the league today, but in the Mavericks' gutsy 138-133 overtime win over the Portland Trailblazers Sunday night, Flagg looked every bit like the number one overall pick in the draft.

Rookie Cooper Flagg led the Mavericks past the Blazers 138-133 in OT, ending a three-game losing streak while reaching a career milestone.

The Mavs announced before the game that they expect Davis to be out for another seven to 10 days. The 10-time All-Star sat out his ninth straight game on Sunday due to a calf strain, but the latest update from the team appears to indicate that Davis is inching closer to his much-anticipated return to action.

To add to the woes, No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg is fighting through a pair of injuries. Flagg sprained his right thumb on Monday night and is still dealing with left shoulder pain from an ailment that originally occurred against Oklahoma City on October 27.

Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg admits the point guard load was too much as Dallas searches for better backcourt balance.

In a recent interview, Dirk Nowitzki stated that the Mavericks should have acted sooner to prevent turmoil in the new Cooper Flagg era.

Cooper Flagg is going through a bit of a rough start in his rookie year for the Mavericks, but Bucks head coach Doc Rivers believes in him.
