Duke's Cooper Flagg injured in ACC Tournament game

Duke's star freshman Cooper Flagg suffered a left ankle injury during the ACC Tournament quarterfinals against Georgia Tech. He left the game in a wheelchair for X-rays but later returned to the bench walking. At halftime, Duke trailed Georgia Tech 31-26. Flagg had struggled offensively, shooting 1-of-7, but contributed defensively with four rebounds, two steals, and one block. Flagg is ruled out for the rest of the game. Duke is projected as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and may prioritize Flagg's health over the ACC Tournament outcome.
