Duke's Cooper Flagg won't play in ACC championship game

Duke will not have freshman Cooper Flagg for the ACC championship game against Louisville due to a sprained left ankle. Head coach Jon Scheyer confirmed Flagg is improving but will not play. Flagg was injured in a quarterfinal game against Georgia Tech and missed the semifinal against North Carolina. His status for the NCAA Tournament remains uncertain, depending on his recovery this weekend. Despite Flagg's absence, Duke is expected to secure a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament with a win. His health will be monitored closely as the tournament approaches.
