Duke's Cooper Flagg out for UNC semifinal game

Duke will be without star freshman Cooper Flagg and key reserve Maliq Brown for their ACC semifinal game against North Carolina. Flagg injured his ankle during the quarterfinals, while Brown dislocated his shoulder. Flagg, the ACC player and newcomer of the year, was ruled out shortly before the game. He had already been dealing with swelling from the previous match. X-rays on Flagg's ankle showed no fracture. His absence marks a significant loss for Duke as they face their rival.
