RALEIGH, N.C. -- Cooper Flagg says he is "pain-free" after suffering an ankle injury that kept him out of the majority of Duke's ACC tournament championship run, and he expects to be fully healthy for the Blue Devils' NCAA tournament opener against Mount St. Mary's on Friday.
The Duke star rolled his ankle in the first half against Georgia Tech on March 13, but Flagg said he went through a full practice Wednesday and expects no issues when he takes the court for his first NCAA tournament game.
"We've been working through the steps of just getting back to 100 percent, and I feel very good," Flagg said Thursday.
