The Mavericks, now 2–3, have had a rough start to the season, dealing with injuries to Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford and Dante Exum. With Davis out against the Pacers, head coach Jason Kidd turned again to Flagg, who played more than 30 minutes and led the team’s starters in scoring.

The Dallas Mavericks lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night, 101-94. It was a mostly brutal offensive showing before the final seven minutes or so of the game. It was an especially rough performance for first overall pick Cooper Flagg, who had just 2 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals on 1/9 shooting from the floor in 31 minutes.
