All eyes are on Cooper Flagg as top-seeded Duke prepares for its hyped-up NCAA postseason run this March. Flagg injured his left ankle in the ACC tournament quarterfinal game against Georgia Tech on Thursday and missed the team’s final two games en route to winning the ACC championship.

Duke, the No. 1 seed in the East region, is expecting to have star freshman Cooper Flagg for the NCAA Tournament beginning this week.

Duke freshman Cooper Flagg appeared to injure his left ankle after slipping under the basket and was helped to the locker room by two teammates late in the first half. He did not return.

The No. 1-ranked Duke Blue Devils, after winning the ACC championship, are the No. 1 seed for the NCAA Tournament East Region, which means starting its expected run to the Final Four close to home.

Duke is the No. 1 seed in the East region and will play its first-round game at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh. The Blue Devils will play Friday against the winner of the play-in game between 16 seeds American and Mount St.
