The <b>2025 first overall pick<\/b> limped to the locker room after appearing to twist his ankle while defending against Denver&#8217;s <b>Peyton Watson<\/b>. He stumbled laterally and landed awkwardly on his left foot.<\/p>\n<p>But the rookie&#8217;s competitive fire burned bright. <b>Flagg reemerged before halftime<\/b> ended, proving his commitment to carrying <b>Dallas<\/b> through another critical contest. His willingness to return despite obvious discomfort demonstrates the mental toughness the <b>Mavericks<\/b> desperately need this season.<\/p>\n<h2>Nuggets Riding Momentum Wave Into Dallas<\/h2>\n<p><b>Denver<\/b> enters with a visible spring in their step. <b>Jamal Murray<\/b> absolutely erupted against New Orleans with <b>35 points and 9 assists<\/b>, leading the <b>Nuggets<\/b> past the <b>Pelicans<\/b> in a thrilling finish. <b>Peyton Watson<\/b> added <b>31 points<\/b> in that victory.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Nuggets&#8217; record of 27-13<\/b> reflects a team firing on all cylinders lately.
