Duke’s second-round matchup against the Baylor Bears is heating up! It’s truly anyone’s game at this point, but what happened to Cooper Flagg? Why can’t he catch a break? The Duke superstar, who’s already been battling through an ankle injury, just took a serious blow to the eye!
Norchad Omier, on the way to the basket, clipped Flagg’s right eye with his off-hand. There was visible discoloration and swelling, but the six-foot-nine forward stayed on the floor. However, social media is going wild over the foul.
Users on X are calling out the act for what they think it was–a dangerous and intentional play. “Flagrant 2, warrants an immediate ejection!” One fan said, while another agreed. “Appeared? It was a dirty f–king slap down to the face. Omier knew what he was doing.”
