Cooper Flagg has been named the 2025–26 NBA Rookie of the Year following an outstanding debut season with the Dallas Mavericks. At just 19, Flagg averaged 21 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game, starting all 70 games and quickly establishing himself as a key player on both ends of the floor.

Flagg’s versatility and consistency stood out throughout the season, as he contributed not only in scoring but also in playmaking and defense. His performance helped the Mavericks stay competitive in a tough Western Conference and narrowly secured the award over fellow rookie Kon Knueppel of the Charlotte Hornets, reflecting the tight race for the league’s top first-year player.
