Duke's Cooper Flagg likely out for ACC semifinals
Duke freshman Cooper Flagg is expected to miss the ACC semifinals against North Carolina due to an ankle injury sustained during the quarterfinals. A source indicated there is "none" chance he will play. Flagg, the ACC's player and newcomer of the year, rolled his ankle while attempting a rebound. X-rays showed no fracture, but his status remains uncertain as Duke prepares for the NCAA tournament. Duke also faces injury concerns with teammate Maliq Brown, who dislocated his shoulder in the same game. Both injuries could impact the team's performance as they aim for a strong finish in the tournament.
