Cooper Flagg made his NBA (Summer League) debut on Thursday night when the Dallas Mavericks played the Los Angeles Lakers in Las Vegas.

Former Dallas Mavericks governor Mark Cuban has great faith in Mavs rookie Cooper Flagg's future, so much so that he offered a comparison to late Los Angeles Lakers legend and Basketball Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant regarding his potential development path while taking in Dallas' 87-85 summer league win over L.

Just a day before their Summer League opener against the Chicago Bulls, the Toronto Raptors have signed former Florida Gator Alijah Martin to a two-way contract. Back in June, the Raptors selected Martin with the No. 39 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
