Dallas Mavericks star Cooper Flagg is officially the second-highest scoring teenager in NBA history.
Flagg recorded his 1,762nd career point in a Saturday night loss at the Cleveland Cavaliers to pass Kobe Bryant on the NBA’s all-time teenage scoring leaderboard.
LeBron James remains the league’s most prolific teenager after racking up 2,362 points before the age of 20.
Flagg hit the milestone while posting 18 points on 6-for-19 shooting from the field despite going just 0-for-6 from deep in the 127-117 loss.
The Mavericks shot a combined 32 percent from behind the arc Saturday despite the Cavaliers resting their entire starting lineup due to travel issues.
Flagg still has five weeks and 13 games remaining before he turns 20 on Dec. 21.
He is likely to continue climbing the NBA’s teenage scoring leaderboard as he looks to help the Mavericks, which fell to 7-6 with Saturday’s loss, avoid slipping further down the standings than 10th in the West.
