Cooper Flagg is part of Dallas Mavericks full Summer League roster

Yes, he’s playing

With just under a week remaining until the start of the NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas, the Dallas Mavericks were one of a handful of teams who had yet to release their summer league roster. That changed on Thursday, as the Mavericks have finally released their full roster for the tournament. Thankfully for Mavs fans, there are no Cooper Flagg sized surprises to the roster.

As expected, Cooper is going to be in Las Vegas for at least the first weekend. Flagg is joined by the two undrafted free agents that the Mavericks signed following the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft, as both Ryan Nembhard and Miles Kelly will be on this roster. Both Nembhard and Kelly have already signed their two-way contracts, meaning that they will be around for the 2025-26 season. Nembhard’s former teammate at Gonzaga, guard Nolan Hickman, is also joining the summer Mavs.

There is still one open two-way spot remaining. Could it be someone who is on this summer league roster? Melvin Ajinca, who the Mavericks selected in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, is coming back for his second tour of summer league duty. It is yet to be known if Ajinca is going to head back to Europe for another year, but could a strong performance in these games lead him to sign a two-way with Dallas? Also coming back for another summer tour with the Mavs is Jamarion Sharp, who you might remember is 7’5”.

Maxwell Lewis and Jordan Hall are the only two guys on this roster with NBA experience. Lewis spent the last two years playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets. Hall, meanwhile, last played in the NBA two seasons ago, where he played nine games for the San Antonio Spurs. Lewis is an intriguing player, so potentially he could be one to earn his way back into the league in these next few weeks.

Also worth a mention is Zhuric Phelps, the Texas A&M product. Phelps was a very highly touted recruit, but never quite developed along the way in college. However, the talent is still there and he could be one that can earn his way into the league with a couple strong weeks.

There is a lot of new with this squad, but getting to see Cooper Flagg as a Maverick for the first time should be more than enough to get you excited. You can watch these very Mavericks face off against the Lakers on July 10th at 7:00p CT on ESPN. Here at Mavs Moneyball, we’ll have you covered for all of the Summer League happenings.
