The Dallas Mavericks quickly shut Cooper Flagg down after two games of action in the NBA summer league, but Flagg reportedly tried vying with the team to play another game.

Flagg scored 31 points in his second start and looked more comfortable as the Mavericks' primary ball-handler. Dallas shut him down for the rest of the summer slate after his scoring outburst was the most by a No. 1 pick in summer league play since John Wall in 2010.

Maxwell Lewis’ near-perfect shooting effort and a suffocating defensive performance spearheaded the Dallas Mavericks’ comfortable 92-69 win over the Orlando Magic in an NBA 2K26 Summer League consolation game at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on Friday.
