Cooper Flagg suffered an injury in the Dallas Mavericks ’ 118-109 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. The 19-year-old was forced to leave the game in the second quarter due to an ankle injury. Flagg hobbled to the locker room and was followed by the team’s medical staff.

Queen’s versatility has helped him emerge as one of the top rookie bigs in fantasy basketball, averaging 31.6 fantasy points per game. Prior to a quiet performance on Wednesday night, Queen upped his scoring average to 37.3 points over his previous five games, including a 52.2-point performance against the Washington Wizards on Jan. 9.

Cooper Flagg's rise from youth phenom to No. 1 overall draft pick to Mavericks' biggest weapon has been guided by the same man.
