Cooper Flagg's rookie season with the Dallas Mavericks will begin in just over a month, and he is preparing for this big moment by playing plenty of NBA 2K26. He's still getting plenty of work in on the floor, as he's known for being a gym rat who hates off days, but he's embracing the famous basketball video game to get ready for his first season in the NBA.
Yep, that's right.
According to an exclusive interview by Alder Almo of Heavy Sports with Ronnie Singh, also known as Ronnie 2K, Flagg is using NBA 2K26 to simulate how he fits with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving on the floor.
