Insider Dismisses Dončić-Flagg Golf Rumor; Slipknot Member Questions Wilson Firing Report

A viral story claiming that Cooper Flagg would fly to Los Angeles to play golf with Luka Dončić has been dismissed as fabrication. An NBA insider said the tale was make-believe, according to a report that emerged early Sunday. The prospect of the two players teeing off together had excited NBA supporters, but the insider poured cold water on the story.

Separately, Slipknot co-founder Jim Root has cast doubt on reports that the band's turntablist Sid Wilson was let go last week. Root urged fans not to believe everything they read, though he gave no further details. The masked metal band has not officially confirmed Wilson's alleged departure.
