Since high school, it's long been assumed that Cooper Flagg would be the top selection of this year's NBA Draft. Now he knows where he (likely) will be heading.The Dallas Mavericks won the NBA Draft lottery on Monday, meaning they currently own the first overall selection.Dallas had an 8.5% chance to pick top-four and a 1.8% to win the lottery.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Mavs' season turned into turmoil when they traded Luka Doni to the Los Angeles Lakers, prompting fan hatred to general manager Nico Harrison, who needed heightened security throughout the rest of the season.But all of a sudden, all seems OK in Dallas.The Utah Jazz, with an NBA-worst 17-65 record, had the best odds at the top pick, but they dropped all the way to No. 5. Utah has never selected No. 1 nor have they ever improved their draft standing. Since the NBA changed its lottery system in 2019, the team with the best odds has never selected first.MICHAEL JORDAN TO JOIN NBC AS 'SPECIAL CONTRIBUTOR' FOR NBA COVERAGEFlagg heightened his own expectations by declaring for Duke in high school, and then he lived up to the billing.Flagg led Duke this season in almost every statistical category, including points (709), rebounds (278), assists (155), steals (52) and blocks per game (1.4). He averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game, but his best showing was in January when he set an ACC freshman record with a 42-point performance against Notre Dame.Flagg closed out a phenomenal year with a semifinal appearance in the NCAA mens tournament and was named the winner of the 2025 Naismith Player of the Year Award, becoming just the fourth freshman to be named its recipient, along with Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and Zion Williamson.His Blue Devils lost a late lead against Houston, who returned the favor to Florida in the national championship.The NBA Draft takes place on June 25, which is when Flagg will know for sure where he'll be heading.Fox News' Paulina Dedaj and the Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom released details about his multibillion-dollar plan to tackle the homeless crisis in the Golden State and is pushing cities and counties to take "immediate action."On Monday, Newsom shared a model ordinance for cities and counties to "immediately address dangerous and unhealthy encampments and connect people experiencing homelessness with shelter and services.""Theres nothing compassionate about letting people die on the streets," Newsom said in a news release.DEM CITY USES 'BAIT-AND-SWITCH' TACTIC TO APPROVE HOMELESS SHELTER, LOCALS ERUPTThe ordinance is backed in part by $3.3 billion in new Prop 1 funding, Newsom's office announced, adding that the governor is "calling on all local governments to act without delay."Newsom is also encouraging local leaders to use their authority, affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court, to address encampments."The Governor is calling on every local government to adopt and implement local policies without delay," Newsom's office said.Newsom's office said this model ordinance draws from the states "proven and workable approach," an approach that between July 2021 and May 2025 cleared more than 16,000 encampments and more than 311,873 cubic yards of debris from sites along the state right-of-way."These results demonstrate that the policy is both effective and scalable, offering a sound, adoptable framework for jurisdictions to resolve encampments with urgency and dignity," Newsom said.PROGRESSIVE JOURNALIST SAYS NEWSOM MUST TAKE 'ACCOUNTABILITY' FOR HOW HE 'DESTROYED' CALIFORNIAMonday's announcement is in addition to the release of $3.3 billion in voter-approved Proposition 1 funding, which Newsom's office said will be made available later today to communities statewide.Those funds are being used to expand behavioral health housing and treatment options for the "most seriously ill and homeless in California.""This model ordinance is not intended to be comprehensive or to impose a one-size-fits-all approach for every city. Tailoring is expected and appropriate to account for local differences and priorities," Newsom's office said.The guidance doesnt say whethercriminal penaltiesshould be enforced but instead would leave it up to cities to enforce how severely those who violate the ban should be punished.Newsom's office said all local approaches should reflect three basic principles, which include:Newsom's announcement comes following the Supreme Court's decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson in 2024, which found laws restricting sleeping in public areas did not violate the constitutional restriction against "cruel and unusual punishment."DEM MAYOR FED UP WITH HOMELESS CRISIS PROPOSES JAILING VAGRANTS WHO REFUSE HOUSINGNewsom had encouraged the Supreme Court to take up the case, claiming court decisions preventing the government from punishing vagrants occupying public spaces had created an "unsurmountable roadblock" to addressing the crisis.In addition to cleaning up homeless encampments, Newsom's office also announced $3.3 billion in grant funding to create over 5,000 residential treatment beds and more than 21,800 outpatient treatment slots for behavioral healthcare services."Californians demanded swift action to address our states behavioral health crisis when they voted for Prop 1 in March 2024," Newsom's office said."Today, were delivering our biggest win yet. These launch-ready projects will build and expand residential beds and treatment slots for those who need help. Whether its crisis stabilization, inpatient services, or long-term treatment, were ensuring that individuals can access the right care at the right time," the statement continued.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPWhen fully awarded, Newsom's office said funding from Proposition 1 bonds is estimated to create6,800 residential treatment beds and 26,700 outpatient treatment slots for behavioral health and will build on other major behavioral health initiatives in California."Today marks a critical milestone in our commitment to transforming Californias behavioral health system," said Kim Johnson, secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency. "Through these awards, we are investing in bold, community-driven solutions that expand access to care, promote equity, and meet people where they are. These projects are a reflection of our values and vision for a healthier, more compassionate California."Newsom's office also said the Department of Housing and Community Development will oversee up to $2 billion in Proposition 1 funds to build permanent supportive housing for veterans and others who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and have mental health or substance-use disorder challenges."This is a generational investment in Californias behavioral health future. We are not just building facilities. We are building hope, dignity, and pathways to healing for thousands of Californians," said Michelle Baass, director of the state Department of Health Care Services, in a statement.Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom's office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Harvard University President Alan Garber on Monday sent a letter to Education Secretary Linda McMahon criticizing the Trump administration's actions against the school while noting both groups share "common ground" on a number of issues."We share common ground on a number of critical issues, including the importance of ending antisemitism and other bigotry on campus," Garber said. "Like you, I believe that Harvard must foster an academic environment that encourages freedom of thought and expression, and that we should embrace a multiplicity of viewpoints rather than focusing our attention on narrow orthodoxies."However, Harvard's goals are undermined and threatened "by the federal governments overreach into the constitutional freedoms of private universities and its continuing disregard of Harvards compliance with the law," Garber said.CALIFORNIA SHERIFF SLAMS MERITLESS UCLA STUDENT LAWSUIT AGAINST POLICE WHO DISMANTLED ANTI-ISRAEL ENCAMPMENT"Consistent with the law and with our own values, we continue to pursue needed reforms, doing so in consultation with our stakeholders and always in compliance with the law," he wrote. "But Harvard will not surrender its core, legally-protected principles out of fear of unfounded retaliation by the federal government."Garber's remarks are in response to a scathing letter last week from McMahon telling the university that it will no longer be eligible for federal grants over its handling of antisemitism on campus."Receiving such taxpayer funds is a privilege, not a right," she wrote. "Yet instead of using these funds to advance the education of its students, Harvard is engaging in a systemic pattern of violating federal law. Where do many of these students come from, who are they, how do they get into Harvard, or even into our country and why is there so much HATE?"ISRAEL'S PRESIDENT RELEASES BLISTERING STATEMENT ON US UNIVERSITY ENCAMPMENTS: 'RESURGENCE OF ANTISEMITISM'"These are questions that must be answered, among many more, but the biggest question of all is, why will Harvard not give straightforward answers to the American public?" she added.The Trump administration has frozen $2.2 billion in funding to the university and threatened to revoke its tax-exempt status.TRUMP SAYS HE'LL REVOKE HARVARD'S TAX-EXEMPT STATUSIn his letter, Garber listed some of the actions Harvard has taken to address issues on campus, including installing new deans and clarifying the school's discipline structures and procedures. He noted that Harvard, like many universities, has work to do to foster intellectual diversity on campus.Garber also pushed back on McMahon's claims that Harvard is a "partisan" institution."I must refute your claim that Harvard is a partisan institution. It is neither Republican nor Democratic," he wrote. "It is not an arm of any other political party or movement. Nor will it ever be. Harvard is a place to bring people of all backgrounds together to learn in an inclusive environment where ideas flourish regardless of whether they are deemed 'conservative,' liberal, or something else, a place where assumptions and claims are tested and challenged, respectfully and thoughtfully, in pursuit of knowledge and truth."
