The No. 1 ranked Duke Blue Devils were just dealt a massive blow.
Standout freshman forward — and the potential No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft — Cooper Flagg was helped off the floor in the first half of Duke’s ACC Tournament quarterfinal-round matchup against Georgia Tech with a left ankle injury on Thursday. He was ruled “doubtful to return.”
Flagg was later seen in a wheelchair.
Flagg, the 2024-25 ACC Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year, entered Thursday averaging 19.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this season, while shooting 49.4/37.7/83.0.
Duke won the ACC regular-season title with a 19-1 conference record and 28-3 overall mark.
