The Mavericks announced Saturday that Cooper Flagg would be reevaluated “next week” after he suffered a mild left shoulder sprain in the second quarter of Friday’s game at Indiana. However, it sounds like he won’t be out long.

After initially listing Flagg as questionable for Monday’s game vs. Miami, the Mavs have now upgraded him to probable, according to Grant Afseth of Dallas Sports Journal, who writes that last year’s No. 1 overall pick went through the team’s shootaround this morning.

Flagg, the reigning Rookie of the Year winner, missed Saturday’s home opener against San Antonio with the injury.

Here’s more on the Mavericks:

• While Flagg seemingly has a good chance to return tonight, Dallas will still be shorthanded, as Naji Marshall has been ruled out with an illness, Afseth adds. Caleb Martin was initially listed as doubtful after missing the first three games of the season with a sprained right thumb, but he has been downgraded to out. Santi Aldama (right knee surgery), Dereck Lively II (right foot surgery) and Tarik Biberovic (right heel bursitis) remain sidelined — all three players have yet to make their season debuts (or NBA debut, in Biberovic’s case).
• With Flagg and Kyrie Irving (ACL management) out Saturday on the second of a back-to-back, the Mavs’ loss to the Spurs was predictable. However, rookie guard Sergio de Larrea was a bright spot, registering 21 points (on 9-of-15 shooting), five rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes after recording zero points in eight minutes across his first two NBA appearances, writes Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News. “I thought he was great,” head coach Dusty May said. “His defense is improving. I thought his on-ball defense got better. He was chasing down long rebounds. “Overall, just a really, really good game by a young player against one of the best defensive backcourts, when you factor in (Stephon) Castle and (Devin) Vassell and those guys.”
• May suggested de Larrea, the 25th overall pick in June’s draft, might have earned more playing time with his performance, per Afseth. “I mean, obviously this was a great opportunity for him. He didn’t get the same last night in Indiana for obvious reasons, with Coop and Kyrie getting those minutes,” May said. “But he’s certainly earned more and more trust, and he’s played like this pretty consistently. When you factor in Summer League, the exhibition play (preseason), and in practice, he has a great mindset every day. So 33 minutes against a team like San Antonio, that’s a good night for [de Larrea].”
