Cooper Flagg was indeed spotted with a boot on his left foot Saturday at Duke's home game against Clemson, but according to The Stein Line, Dallas feels fortunate that last week's MRI results on Flagg only revealed a left midfoot sprain.

Per the report, it is still not known precisely how long the 19-year-old will be sidelined, but the Mavericks appear relieved that the injury was not more serious.

Flagg is getting better and better as the season progresses. The former Duke star is currently averaging 20.4 points in over 48 percent shooting this season along with 6.5 boards and 4.1 assists in 49 games played.

Meanwhile, the Mavs, without Flagg, have lost nine games in a row, currently sitting 12th in the Western Conference with a 19-35 record.
