Cooper Flagg is officially done with Summer League.

The rookie is not injured, but the Mavs do not want to risk him unnecessarily following his monster performance against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.

Flagg, who joined the Dallas Mavericks coming out of Duke as the first-overall pick this year, has been shut down by his team and will not appear in the offseason tournament the rest of the way, per Marc Stein.

The former Blue Devil scored 31 points in an incredible performance against No. 2 overall pick Dylan Harper, and it appears Dallas has seen enough as they have decided that there will be no more from their first-year star.

Flagg has averaged 20.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks while playing 31.5 minutes a game in Summer League.

The Mavs are looking forward to having a main core of their rookie gem, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, and Klay Thompson together at some point. Kyrie and AD are both recovering after a torn ACL and an eye surgery, respectively.

Some sources indicate that the versatile Flagg could possibly start at point guard next season, with Irving not expected back until 2026.

The Mavs are clearly not prepared to leave him open to a potential injury, which would definitely not be worth it at this point in the year.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
