Sources: Mavericks shut down Cooper Flagg for rest of summer league

The Dallas Mavericks are shutting down Cooper Flagg for the remainder of the NBA summer league, sources confirmed to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, ending the rookie star's Las Vegas stint after just two games.

The Mavs opted to shut down Flagg after the No. 1 draft pick scored 31 points in Saturday's game against No. 2 pick Dylan Harper and the San Antonio Spurs.

Flagg shot 10-for-21 from the floor in a bounce-back performance from his summer league debut against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday, when he struggled for just 10 points on 5-of-21 shooting.
