Cooper Flagg
April 2026

Cooper Flagg scored 51 points in Dallas’ loss to Orlando and became the first teenager ever to reach 50 points in an NBA game. The performance came in dramatic fashion after frustration over a missed foul call led to ejections on the Mavericks bench. Flagg exploded for 24 fourth-quarter points after Jason Kidd and Naji Marshall were ejected protesting a no-call. He finished 19-for-30 from the field and hit the milestone in the closing minutes, even though Dallas still fell 138-127 for its 14th straight home loss.
