The Mavericks lost to the Wizards 107-117 at home and suffered two consecutive losses to start the season.

Media people only wrote on the basketball update social media: "The Mavericks, with Flagg playing point guard, lost two games in a row. If losing to Wenban in the first game was excusable, then losing to the Wizards today was like having his pants ripped off. Will this lineup continue? ​​​"

In this game, Flagg, the top pick of the Mavericks, performed well. He scored 11 points in the last quarter despite poor performance in the first three quarters. In 35 minutes, he made 6 of 14 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, and had 5 turnovers.
