The Duke Blue Devils cruised to a 100-58 victory over the Army Black Knights on Friday.
Duke freshman sensation Cooper Flagg recorded his first double-double in only his second regular season game with 13 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in the Blue Devil's win.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing for the freshman.
Flagg, 17, was limited to six minutes in the the second half as he was sidelined with cramps, marking the second straight game that Flagg has battled cramps mid-game. Flagg limped to the Duke sideline with 15:39 remaining in the second half and was seen on the broadcast hydrating and using a massage gun on his left leg. He briefly checked back in, but ultimately sat out the rest of the game as Duke continued to dominate Army.
Cooper Flagg stats vs. Army
Much of Flagg's first double-double came in the first half. He had a monster first half and nearly had a double-double by halftime, registering 13 points, nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 19 minutes of play.
He highlighted his versatility on the floor and slammed down a dunk. Flagg knocked down a 3 with 8:27 remaining in the first half, which spurred a 22-7 run from the Blue Devils to take a 43-20 halftime lead.
Despite suffering from cramping issues in the second half, Flagg still managed to secure his first double-double by picking up two rebounds before ultimatley making his exit.
Cramping will be a question moving forward with Flagg.
In Duke's season-opening win against Maine on Monday, Flagg went down in the second half and appeared to be in pain. He indicated he was having a cramp before he got up and walked to the bench with the crowd cheering him on. He sat for the remainder of a game, which had become clearly out of reach.
Duke moves to 2-0 on the season and next faces Kentucky on Tuesday.
