Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has a left midfoot sprain that will sideline him through All-Star Weekend, the team declared Wednesday.
He is expected to be available immediately after the break, a team source told ESPN.
An MRI on Wednesday revealed the sprain, which occurred during Dallas’ game at Phoenix on Tuesday, according to the team.
