In his second Summer League outing, the 18-year-old Flagg put up a game-high 31 points while shooting 10-for-21 against the Spurs on Saturday. The Mavericks ultimately lost the game 76-69, with incoming rookie Dylan Harper leading the way with 16 points, six rebounds and two steals for San Antonio.

Before he ever played an NBA minute, Flagg was already being compared to Garnett. According to a scouting report from Bleacher Report leading up to the draft, Flagg possesses the size, athleticism and all-around game to potentially mirror Garnett’s impact.

LAS VEGAS — Cooper Flagg ’s first NBA Summer League is over after just two games. The Dallas Mavericks shut down the No. 1 overall pick for the remainder of their time in Las Vegas, a person with knowledge of the situation of the decision confirmed Sunday to The Dallas Morning News.
