| Sat Mar 7 | 19:37 | Cooper Flagg Considered Questionable for Sunday's Game |
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Sunday's contest against the Toronto Raptors.

Dallas has several options to replace Flagg in the starting lineup, with Brandon Williams and Naji Marshall as the most likely candidates. Both have been impactful off the bench but would have additional fantasy value in the first unit. |

| Mon Mar 2 | 19:17 | Cooper Flagg Listed as Doubtful for Tuesday Night |
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) is doubtful for Tuesday's meeting with Charlotte. It appears there's a chance he'll be back for this one. However, fantasy managers should anticipate another absence. The former Duke Blue Devil has been sidelined for seven games because of a midfoot sprain. Although the Mavs aren't really playing for much, Flagg is looking to take home the Rookie of the Year award, so he has plenty of motivation to return. With that in mind, Max Christie, Khris Middleton, and Brandon Williams are projected to be the team's top performers, assuming P.J. Washington (ankle) isn't available and Flagg gets ruled out. |

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Oklahoma City, stretching his absence to seven games because of a midfoot sprain. He is trending toward missing Tuesday as well. With P.J. Washington (ankle) doubtful and Naji Marshall (finger) carrying a questionable tag, Dallas may be forced to lean heavily on Brandon Williams, who owns a 26.3 percent usage rate in a reserve role. Max Christie, Khris Middleton, and Klay Thompson should also see added scoring responsibility. |

The 19-year-old rookie will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game due to a left midfoot sprain. His next opportunity to return comes Thursday versus Sacramento.

Middleton finished with 25 points, seven assists, and one steal in Sunday's win over Indiana, making him a solid streaming option in most formats. |

| Sat Feb 21 | 17:28 | Cooper Flagg Still Sidelined on Sunday |
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) remains out for Sunday's matchup with Indiana. The rookie has already missed two games because of a left midfoot sprain. He was spotted wearing a walking boot during the All-Star break, so he'll likely miss extended time moving ahead. Truth be told, with the Mavs not expected to make the postseason, Flagg probably won't be rushed back. Without Flagg on the court, Naji Marshall and Khris Middleton are favorites to roll with the first-five. Both men may end up getting the start on Sunday, depending on the status of Max Christie (ankle), who currently holds a questionable tag. If Christie is also sidelined, Middleton and Marshall should be classified as starting fantasy options for the favorable outing on the horizon. |

| Wed Feb 18 | 06:59 | Cooper Flagg Spotted in Walking Boot |
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) was spotted wearing a walking boot during the All-Star break, but he has avoided a serious injury. The rookie phenom sustained a left midfoot sprain before the break. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Mavericks are "relieved" that Flagg's injury isn't more serious. "Cooper Flagg was indeed spotted with a boot on his left foot Saturday at Duke's home game against Clemson, but league sources tell The Stein Line that Dallas feels fortunate that last week's MRI results on Flagg only revealed a left midfoot sprain," Stein reported. "It is still not known precisely how long the 19-year-old will be sidelined, but the Mavericks appear relieved that the injury was not more serious." While it's an encouraging update, Flagg might still miss some action when play resumes. Dallas will return to the court on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. |

The 19-year-old rookie sensation suffered a left midfoot sprain in Tuesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns. A source told ESPN that Flagg is expected to be available immediately after the All-Star break. Dallas will resume the season on Feb. 20 with a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. With Flagg out, the Mavericks have to fill a gap in the starting lineup on Thursday. Naji Marshall (foot) is the prime candidate to step into the role, though he must first shake off a questionable tag. |

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (foot) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's clash against the Los Angeles Lakers.

At the same time, Klay Thompson, who missed Tuesday's loss to Phoenix, could absorb most of the available minutes in the rotation. |

| Tue Jan 27 | 19:04 | Cooper Flagg Iffy for Wednesday's Action |
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie sensation is nursing a left ankle injury and may sit out the first leg of a back-to-back. Flagg wasn't expected to play at the back end of a back-to-back set on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks before the game was postponed due to bad weather. Flagg's potential absence against Minnesota could mean more minutes for Brandon Williams and Ryan Nembhard, as well as increased offensive opportunities for players like Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington. |

| Thu Jan 22 | 18:43 | Cooper Flagg to Remain on Minutes Limit |
Dallas Mavericks guard Cooper Flagg will remain on a minutes limit ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Flagg made his return to the court during Monday's game versus the New York Knicks. He finished with 18 points, three assists, and seven rebounds across 28 minutes during that contest. The Mavs plan to be more cautious with Flagg during Thursday's game and keep him in the 20-to-25-minute range. His fantasy value is going to be limited, given he won't have a full workload yet. Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams could see a few extra minutes during Thursday's game. |

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Utah Jazz. It will be the former Duke Blue Devil's second absence since injuring his ankle during Wednesday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. With Flagg, Anthony Davis (finger), Daniel Gafford (ankle), and D'Angelo Russell (illness) all out, the Mavs should get increased production from Naji Marshall, Klay Thompson, and Max Christie (illness), who is available after missing the last two games, in a meeting with a Jazz team that has struggled defensively all season. |

| Thu Jan 15 | 15:46 | Cooper Flagg Is Unlikely To Play Thursday Against Utah |
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (ankle) left Wednesday's loss early with a sprained left ankle and is officially listed as doubtful for the second game of his team's back-to-back on Thursday night against the Jazz. Without Flagg and Anthony Davis (finger), P.J. Washington (ankle) could be in for a big workload if he can play through his own questionable tag, while Brandon Williams, Jaden Hardy, Ryan Nembhard, Caleb Martin, and Naji Marshall should all get more minutes and usage. Both teams will roll out depleted rotations on Thursday, creating a ton of potential value plays on both sides of this contest. Williams is the primary place to start, but there will be plenty of work to go around. |

| Thu Jan 15 | 06:47 | Cooper Flagg Exits With Ankle Injury Wednesday Night |
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Cooper Flagg (ankle) was limited to 15 minutes of action in Wednesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, exiting the game early with a left ankle sprain. Flagg injured his ankle midway through the second quarter. He was initially able to return, but Dallas ruled him out for the rest of the contest early in the third quarter.

The Mavericks have a short turnaround, facing the Utah Jazz on Thursday night. Flagg's early exit from Wednesday's game leaves him questionable for the matchup. Ryan Nembhard started the second half in Flagg's place on Wednesday and could have a larger role against Utah. |
