On today's show, Mavs lose to the Denver Nuggets, and they lose so much more as Cooper Flagg and Daniel Gaffer both go down with injuries.

Should they start asking themselves big questions?

I think so.

Today's Locked on Maps.

This is Cooper Flagg, and you're listening to Lockdown Mall.

I think that's a good question.

All these changes, you know, I still got my dog Dwight Powell.

Great, though. You're a daily Dallas Mavericks podcast. It's part of the Locked On Podcast Network. Your team every day. I'm going to get a city like back. And welcome.

Your first listen. And making the Lockdown podcast number one support podcast network out there. Joining me, as always, the post game project. Great Slightly Biased YouTube channel. What did you got for me slightly biased? I am fearful that the, which we're now halfway through the season, officially.

I am fearful.

Congrats to all of you.

Yes.

I am fearful the back half will look very similar to what we saw tonight.

This was a tough one.

We'll talk about Najee Marshall's flow game.

We'll talk about Ryan Nemhart probably. I definitely want to have a conversation about Caleb Martin. That is one thing I am excited to talk about. We'll talk about all kinds of things. Well, let's start here slightly. Cooper Flagg was down with an injury in the end of the middle of the second quarter. About six minutes left. He twist his ankle on defense. He stands up. He walks straight to the locker room. Doesn't even go to the bench, nothing like that. Just walk straight to the locker room. He ends up coming back, and he plays for a little bit there at the end of the second quarter. And then Ryan Nimhart starts for him at the beginning of the third quarter, and we don't see him the rest of the game game he's not even on the bench for the rest of the game Daniel gafford plays starts the third quarter

and like kind of collapses in the paint like just just kind of like rolling down the paint

basically going for a rebound and he's grimacing on the bench and then he limps to the

locker room and then he never comes back after that too the cooper one is one where you go all right

well we have to figure out the long-term future for for him obviously he's twisted that ankle

down two games in a row he twisted it on a Monday little injury scare and then he twisted it in this

game and so i can understand the mavericks just just keeping him out with, you know, precaution.

But if it's anything long term, I mean, that's something that is concerning. I don't know that an ankle injury, the way that he had it, is something I'm super concerned about. but if you're the Mavericks, when do you start asking the questions?
