Cooper Flagg
February 2026
Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg will miss Dallas’ first game after the All-Star break at Minnesota due to a left midfoot sprain, after also missing the Rising Stars event and the last game before the break. Jason Kidd said Flagg is day-to-day, with an MRI confirming the injury sustained at Phoenix on Feb. 10. Dallas carried a nine-game losing streak into the break, their longest since 1998, and Flagg has been seen managing the injury during the downtime.
Dillon Brooks
February 2026
Brooks received an automatic one-game suspension without pay after his 16th technical foul of the season, per NBA rules. The 16th technical was assessed during Phoenix’s loss to Oklahoma City.

Atkinson was fined $50,000 for aggressively pursuing and berating an official and making inadvertent contact, leading to an ejection. The incident occurred with 10:59 left in the fourth quarter of Cleveland’s 126-113 loss to Phoenix, when Atkinson received his second technical foul.
Devin Booker
January 2026
Booker will be sidelined for at least a week after spraining his right ankle against Atlanta and will be re-evaluated in one week. The injury occurred late in the third quarter after he stepped on Onyeka Okongwu’s foot. Jalen Green also felt right hamstring tightness again in the same game, with the team hoping it is not long-term.
Devin Booker
January 2026
Booker suffered a painful right ankle roll late in the third quarter after landing on Okongwu’s foot, while Green was removed early as a precaution due to tightness in just his second game back from a long hamstring absence. Booker walked off under his own power but was clearly limited; the Suns plan full assessment after returning to Phoenix. Coaches framed Green’s exit as preventative, given his recent recovery and heavy rehab workload.
