Flagg, 19, and Roberson, 20, both enrolled in college at Duke and played basketball for the university. Roberson, who is a 6-foot-4 center, continues to attend Duke and averaged 8.0 points and 5.7 rebounds per game for the Blue Devils as a redshirt freshman last season.
Meanwhile, Flagg and Roberson going public with their relationship will not come as a surprise to eagle-eyed Duke fans. The two were already spotted together in attendance at a Blue Devils basketball game a few months ago, and Roberson also appears to have been the mystery woman who went viral at Flagg’s NBA Rookie of the Year press conference last month.
Roberson has another notable connection to the NBA as well as her older brother Andre Roberson played in the league from 2013-21 and was an All-Defensive selection in 2017. Now Roberson is forming quite the power couple with Flagg, the former No. 1 overall draft pick who averaged 21.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game as a rookie for the Mavericks this season.
