With each game Knueppel plays, he's constantly making history. He's the first rookie this season to each 1,000 points. In doing so, he became the fourth-fastest player to reach that milestone in NBA history. Knueppel did it in 53 games, putting him behind Zion Williamson (44 games), Victor Wembanyama (49 games) and Paolo Banchero (51 games).

The Dallas Mavericks are in need of some backcourt help this offseason.

Cooper Flagg’s injury will sideline him for All-Star Weekend, raising questions about whether the Mavericks should pivot toward the lottery.

Stephen Jackson believes Cooper Flagg has tremendous potential but says comparing him to Larry Bird is premature.

The Mavericks announced today that forward/guard Cooper Flagg underwent an MRI that revealed a left midfoot sprain. The injury occurred in Dallas’ game at PHX on Tuesday. Flagg will miss the team’s game at LAL on Thursday as well as the 2026 Castrol Rising Stars game on Friday.

Cooper Flagg just keeps adding highlight reels to his collection and this time around he bodied Dillon Brooks during Mavericks vs. Suns.

Cooper Flagg has shown why he was selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The Dallas Mavericks rookie is averaging an impressive 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game.
