Cooper Flagg goes down in ACC Tournament matchup with Georgia Tech
By Tyler Reed

The Duke Blue Devils are off to a rocky start in their opening game of the ACC tournament against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
The Yellow Jackets went to the locker room at halftime with a 31-26 lead over the Blue Devils. However, things may be a lot worse for Duke than a halftime deficit.

Flagg has been one of the best players in college basketball all season and many believe he will be the first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Flagg was seen in a wheelchair during halftime, and the chances of him coming back today look impossible. His return at any point looks slim at the moment.
Hopefully, this isn't it for the freshmen phenom. However, if it is, Flagg will go down as one of the greatest freshmen to play college basketball.
Flagg has mentioned that he would love to return to Duke for another season. However, let's be honest here: nobody should be telling this kid to return to school.
Yes, potentially playing for the Charlotte Hornets would make me quit basketball altogether. However, something tells me that Flagg will be up for that challenge.
