Overview
- Flagg logged 29 points, 11 assists, six rebounds, five steals and three blocks to lift Dallas to a 113-109 road win over Miami on Oct. 26, 2026.
- He blocked Andrew Wiggins’ potential go-ahead three with 31 seconds left and scored inside in the closing seconds to preserve the lead.
- Flagg was cleared to play after an MRI showed a mild left-shoulder sprain, was upgraded to probable at shootaround, and then played 39–40 minutes.
- The performance was validated by Elias/NBA and made Flagg the first teenager to record at least 25 points, 10 assists and five steals in a game, a line matched only once before since 1973-74.
- Dallas got help from Kyrie Irving, P.J. Washington and reserve Walter Clayton Jr., while the team’s 11 steals and 10 blocks signaled disruptive defense but also underscored questions about relying heavily on a young centerpiece going forward.
