Duke's Cooper Flagg injured, semifinal participation uncertain

Duke freshman Cooper Flagg injured his left ankle during the ACC Tournament quarterfinals against Georgia Tech and did not finish the game. X-rays were negative, but his availability for the semifinals is uncertain, with head coach Jon Scheyer calling it a "long shot." Flagg, the ACC Player of the Year, was helped off the court but later returned to the bench without crutches. Duke won the game 78-70, overcoming a halftime deficit, with Kon Knueppel scoring a career-high 28 points in Flagg's absence. Duke also lost Maliq Brown to a separated shoulder during the game. The Blue Devils will face the winner of the Wake Forest vs. North Carolina matchup in the semifinals.
