Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks fell 133-127 to the Los Angeles Clippers in NBA Cup Group Play on Friday at home, as James Harden made history with the Clippers' first 40-point triple-double.

The Mavs are now 3-9 on the season after the 123-114 loss, but Flagg's improvement is certainly a silver lining in an otherwise messy season. The Dallas rookie is now averaging 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.4 steals after 12 games.

To add to the woes, No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg is fighting through a pair of injuries. Flagg sprained his right thumb on Monday night and is still dealing with left shoulder pain from an ailment that originally occurred against Oklahoma City on October 27.

Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg shared an update about an injury he suffered in their loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg finished Wednesday's game against the Suns with 16 points, six rebounds, and six assists.

The Phoenix Suns are 6-1 in their last seven games. They play the second of a back-to-back Nov. 13 at home vs. the Indiana Pacers.

Where will the Dallas Mavericks turn following their decision to fire former general manager Nico Harrison? Co-interim general managers Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi have big decisions to make as the franchise decides which direction to take after their worst 12-game start since the 2017-18 season.
