Top-ranked Duke and the Atlantic Coast Conference have informed the NCAA Tournament selection committee that freshman Cooper Flagg will be available for March Madness, NCAA senior vice president for basketball Dan Gavitt said Saturday.

Duke freshman Cooper Flagg appeared to injure his left ankle after slipping under the basket and was helped to the locker room by two teammates late in the first half. He did not return.

Duke star Cooper Flagg, who suffered an ankle injury during the ACC tournament, will be available for the NCAA tournament, according to Dan Gavitt, NCAA senior vice president of men's basketball.
