Cooper Flagg out for ACC Tournament with ankle injury

Duke freshman Cooper Flagg injured his left ankle during the ACC Tournament against Georgia Tech and was ruled out for the game. He was helped off the court and initially struggled to put weight on the injured ankle. Despite the injury, Flagg was later seen walking back to the bench with only a slight limp. This development has led to fluctuations in Duke's championship betting odds, which initially dropped significantly before stabilizing. Flagg leads Duke in scoring, rebounding, assists, and blocks. His absence is notable, but Duke has other talented players on the roster, including projected lottery picks.
