Duke men’s basketball faced a tense moment during their ACC Tournament quarterfinal game against Georgia Tech on Thursday when freshman star Cooper Flagg suffered a left ankle injury. The incident occurred in the final minutes of the first half at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, as Flagg landed awkwardly after grabbing a defensive rebound.
Flagg was helped off the court and later taken to the locker room, ending his day with just two points on 1-of-7 shooting. Despite his absence, the Blue Devils rallied to secure a 78-70 victory over Georgia Tech.
The injury has raised concerns about Flagg’s availability for the remainder of the tournament, leaving Duke fans anxious as the team prepares for its next matchup. Will the Blue Devils be able to continue their championship push without their standout freshman? The stakes couldn’t be higher as Duke aims for another ACC title.
