"Cooper Flagg is expected to meet the team, work out, and have dinner with (general manager) Nico Harrison while in Dallas," the Facebook page Dallas Texas TV wrote on Tuesday, quoting the Dallas Morning News. He is also expected to discuss the culture of the team while on his visit, the News said.

Unlike most draft prospects, Flagg did not schedule any visits or workouts with teams other than the Mavericks.

Sam Amick replied that Mike Brown would be a better fit for the New York Knicks than Taylor Jenkins as their next head coach.

On Tuesday, Cooper Flagg’s mother, Kelly Flagg, engaged with a social media post about her son’s future with Dallas. The post featured a mixtape of Flagg’s college highlights and was captioned, “Day one posting a video of Cooper Flagg until he wins a title with the Dallas Mavericks.”

It was widely expected that the Dallas Mavericks would draft Duke phenom Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft on June 25. But the Mavericks accidentally leaked their plans by revealing their pick on their Website before taking it down.

Derik Queen is one of the more intriguing players in the draft because of his size and athleticism, but his shooting struggles are definitely a concern. Still, there has been a lot of buzz about the Bulls potentially taking Queen with the 12th overall pick.

• In the 2025 NBA Draft, the top international players who competed at U.S. colleges in 2024-25 include BYU’s Egor Demin (Russia), Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe (Bahamas), Illinois’ Kasparas Jakučionis (Lithuania) and Will Riley (Canada), Duke’s Khaman Malu- ach (South Sudan) and Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud (France).

But what about the other part? The mental angle is often just as important as the body's function on the court or field. In honor of Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving opened up about his struggles with staying grounded in an era where society grants very little privacy to athletes.
