Cooper Flagg did indeed hit the golf course, but it wasn't in Los Angeles or alongside Luka Doncic.
In the wake of debunked reports and speculation that he would play with Doncic, Flagg ultimately came out swinging on Monday in Dallas along with several members of the Dallas Mavericks staff.
In a viral photo, Flagg was joined by Dallas executive and franchise legend Michael Finley, longtime trainer Matt McKenzie, and one of McKenzie’s assistants.
Luka Doncic, Cooper Flagg enjoying NBA offseason apart
On Sunday, social media went buzzing after an X page, MavsMuse, posted and claimed via sources that Cooper Flagg will be going to Los Angeles to play golf with Luka Doncic.
In the end, it was Marc Stein himself who ultimately dismissed the report, noting that both players are spending the current offseason on their respective home bases.
While Flagg is making the most of his first full NBA offseason in Dallas, Doncic has also made major progress in his summer development.
After reports broke that he is planning to host the entire Los Angeles Lakers roster in Slovenia this month for an exclusive four-day minicamp, the superstar announced that he is now fully healthy and recovered from his last season's hamstring injury.
