Duke's Cooper Flagg and Maliq Brown suffer injuries

triblive.com

Duke's top-ranked basketball team faces injury concerns after freshman star Cooper Flagg sprained his ankle and defensive player Maliq Brown dislocated his shoulder during the ACC Tournament. Flagg's availability for the semifinals is uncertain, with coach Jon Scheyer calling it a "real longshot." Flagg was injured while attempting a rebound, landing awkwardly. He was later seen in a wheelchair but walked out on his own. Brown, who recently returned from a shoulder injury, was hurt while defending and had to leave the game. These injuries come as Duke prepares for the NCAA Tournament next week. The team had to rally from a 14-point deficit to win their quarterfinal game against Georgia Tech.
