The Dallas Mavericks enter the 2026-2027 season with numerous questions, but Cooper Flagg isn’t one them. The 19-year old enters his second season with sky-high expectations, fueled by his incredible play in the back-half of last season. The jump from year one to year two is often massive, especially for generational talents such as Flagg.

However, in both the Golden State and Dallas wins, key vets stepped up to seal the outcomes. In Game 1, Tiffany Hayes looked way too spry for a 37-year-old with almost 420-career WNBA games on her resume. Hayes, somehow, still owns the fastest first step in the league, which she deployed with impunity in her 19 off-the-bench minutes. T...

That last part was on display Tuesday. But Edgecombe believes his biggest impact can start on the other end of the floor. “I want to be able to set the tone for us defensively,” Edgecombe said. “I wanted to come back here in great shape, so that I’m able to do that. This league is full of great guards. It’s important to be that defender at the point of attack; that really starts most of the possessions.” In what looks to be a star-studded starting lineup for the 76ers — James, Embiid, Maxey, ...
