LAS VEGAS (AP) — Cooper Flagg strolled into UNLV’s Thomas and Mack Center at 4:17 p.m. on Thursday, wearing Dallas Mavericks gear, bright white New Balance shoes, and an emotionless look on his face as he passed through security.

Myles Turner's run with the Indiana Pacers came to an end earlier this month when he signed with the Milwaukee Bucks in free agency.

The Dallas Mavericks opened the Summer League against the Los Angeles Lakers, and Flagg announced himself as a first overall pick should.

Flagg's fans had plenty of energy, electrifying the jam-packed arena that went cheered loudest when he was announced as a starter.

RayJ Dennis scored 26 points and posted nine assists and Quenton Jackson scored 24 points to help the Pacers rally back from down 16 to beat the Cavs.

The NBA will have a slightly different feel next season when games appear on the streaming platform, but the network did bring in some big broadcasting names.

Herb Jones and the New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to a three-year, $68 million contract extension, Mark Bartelstein and Kieran Piller of Priority Sports told ESPN’s Shams Charania.

League is getting a lot of attention this year, and to say fans are excited for one particular matchup would be an understatement. Cooper Flagg, the 2025 No. 1 overall pick, is making his summer league debut with the Dallas Mavericks as they face Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers in a game that's making history before it even begins.
