Duke's Cooper Flagg injures ankle, won't return

Duke's star freshman Cooper Flagg injured his left ankle during the ACC tournament game against Georgia Tech and will not return. He landed awkwardly while attempting to grab a rebound and was seen in a wheelchair for an X-ray. Flagg's injury adds to Duke's troubles, as forward Maliq Brown also re-injured his shoulder in the first half and was ruled out for the game. Both injuries raise concerns for Duke's chances in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Duke, which recently secured the ACC regular-season title, was favored to win the tournament. The team managed to cut a 12-point deficit to five points at halftime, despite the injuries to key players.
