How to affect Cooper Flagg’s damage by the 2025 NBA project

How to affect Cooper Flagg’s damage by the 2025 NBA project

In the attack of the ACC tournament on Thursday with Georgia Tech, Duke Superstar Cooper Flagg was launched for a council and prepared for the fast break.

Unfortunately, he landed on the foot of a defender in Georgia Tech, rolling his ankle and going promptly from the floor. After being transported to the locker room by the teammates, he was seen in a wheelchair to get x-rays, while the fans of the basketball have held their breath.

Flagg’s X-ray came back negatively to the head coach Jon Sheyer, and the collegiate superstar eventually re-remedied his team on the bench. While it seems that a major injury was avoided, Flagg’s injury could still have a wavy effect on the NBA project in 2025 as a whole.

With average 19.4 points, 7.6 recovery, 4.2 assistants, 1.5 thefts and 1.3 blocks in its 31 games with Blue Devils, stock no. 1 of Flagg is, apart from the cement. He is about to win the National Player of the Year award and even a major injury would probably not have prevented the teams from saying his name first on the night of project 2025.

But Flagg is missing time in any quality, whether it’s ACC or NCAA tournament, could affect the stock of Duke players like Kon Knueppel, Khaman Maluach and even Isaia Evans.

I have already seen that some of these ripple are taking place, while Knueppel and Maluach have climbed a big way against Georgia Tech once Flagg went down. Knueppel finished with 28 points and eight assistants, and Maluach finished with 14 points, nine recovery and four blocks in helping Blue Devils at an eight -point victory.

Duke is fully capable of continuing his success in some extent without flag. And Knueppel and Maluach’s improved game during this period could have a change in their stock in the last second.

Duke is about to take over Carolina North at 18:00 CT, Friday, March 14, in the ACC tour to put her ticket to the final. There was still no news about Flagg’s status, but it is probably a weak chance that he plays, given how recent his injury and imminent slate in March Madness.
