Duke star Cooper Flagg, who suffered an ankle injury during the ACC tournament, will "be available" for the NCAA tournament, according to Dan Gavitt, NCAA senior vice president of men's basketball.
In response to a question from Seth Davis about injuries potentially affecting a team's seed on Selection Sunday during a CBS broadcast on Saturday, Gavitt said both the school and the league had communicated to the selection committee that Flagg, ACC player of the year, will be ready to go for the NCAA tournament.
"What we understand from communication with Duke and the ACC is that Cooper Flagg will be available for the NCAA tournament so don't expect that to impact their seeding," Gavitt said.
