Dallas Mavericks player Cooper Flagg said at the team's media day that he measured 6-foot-10 without shoes, up from 6-foot-9 last year, ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. The 19-year-old is entering his second season after winning Rookie of the Year.
The article says the added height could make Flagg harder to defend by giving him a better view of the court and basket; it presents this as a potential benefit, not a measured change in his performance.
