After being drafted No. 1 overall, Cooper Flagg was one player many anxiously awaited to see in action during Summer League. Though his time on the court was brief, it was still enough for the touted prospect to get a shoutout from a fellow pro athlete.
With the festivities taking place in Las Vegas, there is an array of notable names floating around Summer League. Many are some of the game's top stars popping up to support some of their younger teammates. Ahead of NFL training camp, Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby was another notable name in attendance.
While soaking in the action, Crosby had the chance to link up with Flagg. He ended up posting a picture of the two of them on social media while praising the NBA's next big prospect.

— Maxx Crosby (@CrosbyMaxx) July 16, 2025Though he struggled from the field, Flagg managed to put together an all-around performance in his Summer League debut against the LA Lakers. He posted a stat line of 10 points, six rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Flagg would bounce back in a big way in his next outing against the San Antonio Spurs, erupting for 31 points, four rebounds, and one assist. Following this outing, the Mavericks decided they'd seen more than enough from Flagg and decided to shut him down for the remainder of Summer League.
Looking ahead, Flagg will now begin preparing for his first NBA training camp in a couple of months. He finds himself with a tall task as a No. 1 pick, as he'll attempt to help a Mavericks team with championship aspirations in the Western Conference.
