Top-ranked Duke and the Atlantic Coast Conference have informed the NCAA Tournament selection committee that freshman Cooper Flagg will be available for March Madness, NCAA senior vice president for basketball Dan Gavitt said Saturday.

There's some promising news for Cooper Flagg ahead of the NCAA Tournament. While the forward is still out for the Duke Blue Devils ACC Final matchup against the Louisville Cardinals due to an ankle sprain, he should be back in the lineup soon for Jon Scheyer’s team.

Duke superstar Cooper Flagg won't play in Saturday's ACC title game, but the NCAA expects him back for March Madness.
