No. 1 pick Flagg s "troubled life": Mother clarifies rumors that she is suffering from injuries

The big news that the Dallas Mavericks fired general manager Nico Harrison was as sensational as the decision to trade Luka Doncic in February. That says a lot about the chaos that has enveloped this team this year.

Among them, rookie Cooper Flagg’s mother Kelly also expressed her views. On Monday, she retweeted a post shared by a fan who called Harrison a distraction to her son and the Mavericks.

However, Kelly Flagg took to social media to clarify the truth about her retweet.

"Reposting is not about firing Nico, " she said. "It's because the fans were yelling when we made free throws. Our boys had nothing to do with what happened. "

"Now that it's over, we all need to move on. Hopefully the future will be better. "

Currently, the Mavericks have started the season with a record of 3 wins and 8 losses. In addition, Anthony Davis, whom the team acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers, is out due to a strained left calf. Also, Kyrie Irving is still recovering from the torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered last March and continues to be sidelined.

As for Flagg, he averaged 15.0 points and 6.8 rebounds per game in his rookie season. Flagg injured his thumb during a 114-116 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.

Cooper Flagg is having a forgettable rookie season, and the Mavericks have been in the spotlight since February, but not for the best reasons. From the Luka trade to Kyrie's injury, the Mavericks have gone through many hardships, and the firing of Harrison is the latest disturbance.

In April, when they unexpectedly received the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, hope briefly emerged: Flagg from Duke University was selected by Dallas.

No matter what happens from now on, Flagg will have a rookie season that few NBA players can say they have experienced.
