But Flagg failed to crown the action with a dunk. As the ball flew out of the hoop, he collapsed onto the court.
It was a move that heralded the NBA debut of this year’s No. 1 draft pick in the world’s most powerful basketball league — much anticipation, but a disappointing result for Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks.
Flagg was scoreless in the first half, and finished with ten points on 13/4 shooting, while the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Mavericks 125:92.
Flagg, who is 206 centimeters tall, started the game at point guard, a position he had never played before before joining the Mavs, and committed three unassisted turnovers.
“It wasn’t great, but we have to get over it, focus and start looking toward Friday against the Washington Wizards,” the 18-year-old Flagg said.
