The Mavs will also honor former No. 1 overall pick Mark Aguirre with a jersey retirement ceremony during halftime. Aguirre spent the first 7.5 seasons of his 13-year NBA career in Dallas and was a three-time All-Star for the Mavs.

Flagg has been nothing short of stellar in his rookie campaign, leading all rookies in scoring at 18.8 points per game, while grabbing 6.4 rebounds and dishing out 4.1 assists. He’s appeared in 43 of Dallas’s 47 games thus far and started each one. His game has translated nicely in his first few months as a pro, and it looks like the Mavs have found their franchise player to build around for the future.
