The Dallas Mavericks had less than a 2% chance of winning Monday's NBA Draft Lottery and yet that is exactly what happened.  That wasn't the only surprise at the top of the draft though as San Antonio now has an interesting choice to make at No.

Cooper Flagg was in attendance for the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery at McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago on Monday. Flagg witnessed the Dallas Mavericks shockingly win the lottery, and he sat down for an interview with ESPN afterward.

After Davis suffered an adductor strain in his Mavs debut that caused him to miss six weeks, the team endured a string of injuries to multiple key players, most notably Irving. The 33-year-old suffered a torn ACL in March that ended his season prematurely and will likely cost him a significant portion of next season as well.
