Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball star Cooper Flagg battled through an eye injury to lead the No. 2 team in the nation to a 35-point win over Florida State on Saturday night.

Flagg was poked in the eye in the first half amid a hard foul. He sat out for about 11 minutes but returned to start the second half and finished with 16 points in the 100-65 victory.

“He was beat up and scratched up,” Flagg’s teammate Sion James said. “Cooper is one of the toughest guys I’ve ever played with. I trusted that if he was all right, he’d be back. He was back and better than ever.”

Duke head coach Jon Scheyer described the injury as a bruised eyelid.

“As a basketball player, you don’t think about injuring your eye,” Scheyer said. “That doesn’t cross your mind. I had never seen him look scared. I thought he was scared at first, rightfully so, because you don’t know how serious or permanent. . . . I was really nervous about him.”

Scheyer added that Flagg had some “vision issues,” which prolonged his return to the floor. Flagg wasn’t made available to speak to reporters after the game.

The Duke star is widely considered to be the favorite as the top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He’s averaging 19.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season.
