Dallas Mavericks second-year star Cooper Flagg has drawn attention for eating peanut-butter-and-jelly (PB&J) sandwiches during games and on the bench. In separate coverage, he is shown or described discussing a recent decision to have a PB&J, framed as part of his in-game routine.

The outlets provide brief context around his early-season impact and recent performances, including Dallas blowouts and standout moments, while also focusing on the off-court detail of the snack. One report highlights Flagg’s comments after a Dallas win over the Pacers, connecting the PB&J to something he said he was “supposed to have” earlier.

Other coverage emphasizes the routine itself and where it appears—during the game or while he watches from the bench—rather than broader analysis. One outlet links the snack to a wider look at Dallas’s prospects in the Western Conference, though without adding new verified details beyond what is already reported about Flagg’s PB&J habit.
