The NBA announced Thursday that Cooper Flagg has been named the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for games played in December, marking the second straight month the Dallas Mavericks forward/guard has earned the honor.

What began as one of the Dallas Mavericks’ most efficient openings of the season unraveled into another reminder of their current margin for error, as the Philadelphia 76ers leveraged elite shot creation and late-game execution to secure a 123–108 victory Thursday night at American Airlines Center.

The Dallas Mavericks closed out the 2025 calendar year with a familiar script — a deep hole, a determined comeback, and multiple chances to steal a win late that ultimately slipped away.

The Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks are arriving at similar questions from very different positions as the 2025-26 NBA season plays out. Golden State is hovering at .500 after a 141-127 overtime loss at Toronto, a game that again exposed interior vulnerabilities and turnover issues despite a 39-point performance...

Cooper Flagg continues to carve out rare historical ground as his role and responsibility grow. Flagg finished with 23 points, six rebounds, and five assists in Saturday night’s loss to the Sacramento Kings, placing him in exclusive company among the youngest players in NBA history.
