DALLAS -- Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg injured his left shoulder on the opening possession of Monday night's 101-94 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and spent the vast majority of crunch time watching from the bench due to a coach's decision.
Flagg finished with only 2 points on 1-of-9 shooting, 2 rebounds and no assists in 31 minutes, attributing his lackluster performance to being "flat" in the second game of his first NBA back-to-back.
Flagg -- the No. 1 overall pick, who scored 22 points in the previous night's win over the Toronto Raptors -- wore a large wrap with heat on his left shoulder when he was on the bench throughout the game.
