What happened

Cooper Flagg was shown eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich late in Dallas' wins over Utah and Brooklyn, and said it helps him meet calorie goals while building muscle before Monday's game.

The piece links that strength push to a breakout second season, noting Flagg's scoring and free-throw attempts have risen early this year as he works to keep improving.
