Cooper Flagg made sure he wouldn't miss a Thursday night meeting between two of the WNBA's top stars.

The Dallas Mavericks forward was spotted inside American Airlines Center early in the first quarter of the Wings-Fever matchup. Flagg took in the action from a suite at the arena.

This isn't the first time Flagg has interacted with the Wings. When Flagg was named NBA Rookie of the Year in April, he received a celebratory shoutout from Bueckers. Bueckers was named WNBA Rookie of the Year after the 2025 season.

Bueckers has also shared her support for the Mavericks in the past. She notably attended a Mavericks-Thunder preseason game last October at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.

Thursday night marked the third time that the Wings played at American Airlines Center this season. The WNBA team will play all of its 2027 regular-season home games at the venue.
