The Sporting News tracked live stats and highlights from Cooper Flagg's NBA debut in Mavericks vs. Spurs on Wednesday night. Here's how the No. 1 pick performed.

Mavericks fans have started a powerful new Cooper Flagg tradition during the national anthem that’s giving everyone goosebumps in Dallas.

Top pick Cooper Flagg got the start and played 28 minutes in Wednesday's preseason game between the Mavericks and Lakers.

Wembanyama posted his fifth career game with at least 40 points, doing so in just 30 minutes while shooting 71.4 percent from the floor. He set a new Spurs record for points in a season-opener along the way, surpassing George Gervin's 39 points in the 1977 opener.

Lopez holds North Texas and its vibrant culture close to his heart, and he says his work with the Mavericks helps him show inclusivity and diversity. A great deal of that work is in honor of his birthplace, Mexico City. He said he hopes to leave a lasting legacy, one project at a time.
