Mavericks’ Cooper Flagg Briefly Delays Press Conference, Then Dodges a ‘Trap Question’

The Dallas Mavericks’ Cooper Flagg had something to finish before answering questions, and it apparently had nothing to do with reviewing game film. According to reporter Noah Weber, the start of Flagg’s press conference was briefly delayed while he ordered food on his phone. The explanation produced a lighthearted exchange once someone asked what he was getting. Flagg could have named the restaurant or listed his order. Instead, he treated the question like something requiring a carefully considered response. His answer turned an ordinary food delivery into the most closely guarded detail of the conversation.
