American basketball player Cooper Flagg, the new player for the Dallas Mavericks, has become the youngest player in NBA history to score 50 or more points in a single game, scoring 51 points in a regular season game against the Orlando Magic.
Idman.Biz reports that the match ended with Dallas losing 127:138.
Flagg, currently 19 years and 103 days old, broke the record set on November 14, 2009. That record belonged to former Milwaukee Bucks player Brandon Jennings (55 points; 20 years, 52 days).
Also among the youngest players to achieve this indicator are LeBron James (56 points; 20 years, 80 days), Devin Booker (70 points; 20 years, 145 days), and Victor Wembanyama (50 points; 20 years, 314 days).
