Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd says he isn't interested in what outsiders think about his decision to play Cooper Flagg at point guard during his rookie NBA season.

Cooper Flagg entered the season as the favorite for NBA Rookie of the Year, but his former college roommate, Kon Knueppel, is making waves

Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks suffered their third straight loss on Saturday night. This time around, the Mavs lost to Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets, 111-107. Flagg cannot be blamed for a lack of effort in the loss,

No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg racks up career-high 49 points (20-29 FGs), while Duke teammate Kon Knueppel sets Hornets rookie record with 8 3PM.
