His mother, Kelly Flagg, also hinted at Cooper’s availability for the NCAA tournament. In an interview with Front Office Sports, she shared encouraging information about whether her son will play this weekend. Her response was, “I expect to see him, yes, very soon.”
Duke’s strong momentum remains unshaken
The Duke Blue Devils’ winning streak remains intact. Cooper Flagg’s return would be a major boost for their performance in the NCAA tournament. The team secured the top seed in the East region. On Friday, they will face the winner of the matchup between American and Mount St. Mary’s in Raleigh, where Flagg might make his long-awaited return to the court.
Duke’s regular season was highly successful. They finished as the highest-ranked team in the AP Top 25. With or without Cooper Flagg, the team is ready for the first-round battle. In fact, Coach Scheyer is confident they will have their star player back. If not, he still trusts his well-rounded team to handle the upcoming challenges.
