The Dallas Mavericks made the not-so-surprising decision to shut downCooper Flagg earlier this month following his second game of NBA Las Vegas Summer League. Two starts was more than enough for management to see that Flagg is ready to go as a rookie and projected impact player in the Mavericks' lineup.

The Dallas Mavericks were among the first to shut down a star rookie during the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. First overall pick Cooper Flagg had a disappointing debut against the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring just 10 points on 5/21 shooting. He bounced back in the second game against the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 31 points on 10/20 shooting.

The Cleveland Cavaliers ended their Summer League slate with an 82-71 loss to the Golden State Warriors. Cleveland had a tough time scoring the ball. They were down by 22 in the fourth quarter, but a 14-0 run cut the deficit to six with just over four minutes to play.
