Cooper Flagg's X-rays negative after ankle sprain
Duke freshman Cooper Flagg's X-rays showed no fractures after he sprained his ankle during the ACC Tournament against Georgia Tech. He left the game in pain but returned to the bench walking without assistance. Coach Jon Scheyer indicated Flagg is doubtful for the next game, emphasizing the need to prioritize his recovery for the NCAA Tournament. Duke won the game 78-70 without him. Injuries also affected Duke's roster, with junior Maliq Brown suffering a dislocated shoulder. Flagg is a key player, leading the team in multiple categories and projected as a top NBA draft pick.
