Jason Kidd & Naji Marshall on Cooper Flagg’s Debut | Dallas Mavericks Practice Interviews (10/7/25)
Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd and forward Naji Marshall met with the media following practice in Dallas to discuss Cooper Flagg’s preseason debut, Delano Banton’s addition, team health, and preparation for Saturday’s home game against Charlotte.
Kidd praised the team’s energy after their 106-89 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder at Dickies Arena, noting that Flagg’s playmaking and pace “give us another playmaker when he can bring the ball off rebounds.” Marshall also spoke highly of Flagg, calling him “so young, so talented, so gifted. He just goes out there and hoops.”
Flagg impressed in his first NBA action, finishing with 10 points, six rebounds, three assists, and a block in just 14 minutes. Jason Kidd said the rookie has been “doing this since training camp,” while Max Christie added that Flagg “filled up the stat sheet” and “handled pressure really well.”
