What happened: Marc Stein asked longtime trainer Matt MacKenzie about talk that Flagg grew taller this summer. MacKenzie said he has not put a measuring tape next to Flagg and could not confirm or deny a change.

Why it matters: Flagg enters the 2026-27 setup after a first season that met No. 1 pick expectations. Listed height affects positional assignments and matchup planning heading into camp.

What to watch: Camp listings and preseason lineups will show where Flagg is slotted next.
