According to Marc Stein, Cooper Flagg has been placed in a walking boot due to a mid-foot sprain. Fans saw the emerging superstar in a walking boot during a pair of Duke basketball games. This was during the All-Star break.

While the injury is not considered to be serious, there is no timeline for his return. Flagg did not play in the Dallas Mavericks final game before the break.

Currently on a nine-game losing streak, Dallas is twelfth in the Western Conference and has a record of 19-35.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, prior to Thursday’s trade deadline, the Charlotte Hornets traded Tyus Jones to the Dallas Mavericks for Malaki Branham. With this trade, Charlotte opens up a $7 million trade exception for themselves.

Jones was previously traded by the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, but was then later traded to a different the following day.

For Dallas, they’ve had interest in Jones since the beginning of last offseason. Now, they get their point guard and help fill that major need at that position.

In 48 games this season, Jones is averaging 3.0 points and 2.4 assists in 15.7 minutes.

In 28 games this season, Branham is averaging 4.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 9.8 minutes.
