It’s not a totally unexpected decision. In recent years the No. 1 pick has rarely played beyond the second summer league game as a precaution to avoid injuries. Zaccharie Risacher, the 2024 No. 1 pick of the Hawks, and Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs’ top pick in 2023, each played in just two games in their summer league debuts.

Flagg averaged 20.5 points, 5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block in his two games against the Lakers and the Spurs. His time on the floor featured some high-flying dunks (and some high-flying dunk attempts) and flashes of his ball-handling skills and versatility, the Mavericks saying before the summer season started that they were hoping to challenge the No. 1 pick and make him “uncomfortable.”
He looked it in the first game against the Lakers, shooting just 5-of-21 from the field and totaling 10 points. But he bounced back Saturday against the Spurs, scoring a game-high 31 points on 10-of-21 shooting.
That’ll be where Flagg’s first spin through the summer league ends, and Mavericks fans likely won’t see Flagg in game action again until the preseason.
Flagg’s time in Vegas may have been short-lived, but there’s plenty to take away from his time on the court.
MFFLs and Stallion stans alike are abuzz with talk of a new summer couple.
