Duke's Cooper Flagg out with ankle sprain injury

Duke's Cooper Flagg will miss the ACC tournament semifinal against UNC due to an ankle sprain. He was injured during the quarterfinal game against Georgia Tech and is unlikely to return for the tournament. Forward Maliq Brown is also out with a shoulder injury. Flagg's absence leaves Duke needing other players to perform well in the semifinal and potentially in the NCAA Tournament next week. Flagg is a top NBA draft prospect and has had strong performances against UNC this season. His injury raises questions about Duke's chances in the upcoming games.
