Cooper Flagg is just days away from his first-ever NBA regular-season debut, and because of his rookie status in the league, he and every other first-year player will wear a new patch on their jerseys.
On Wednesday, Oct. 15, the NBA and Topps announced that rookies would wear jerseys with a "Debut Patch" on the chest, similar to how players do in the MLB to differentiate their first game in the league versus all of the rest.
The best part? Flagg is one of nearly half a dozen rookies in the league from Duke this season, alongside Kon Knueppel, Tyrese Proctor, Sion James, and more.
