Marvin Bagley III Set To Miss Extended Time
2 years agoDetroit Pistons center Marvin Bagley III (hand) will be sidelined for approximately the next 6-8 weeks as two broken fingers on his right hand are expected to require surgery, per multiple reports. Bagley spent most of the past month working into a second unit role for Detroit, albeit to mixed results with an average of 9.1 points and 5.5 boards in just over 18 minutes per night. Nerlens Noel could notch a handful of minutes off the bench in Bagley's absence, but Jalen Duren is likely to continue seeing the lion's share of minutes at the five, making him a season-long roster candidate in all formats. Updates on Bagley's return to action will be provided as they emerge.

Marvin Bagley III Suffers Apparent Knee Injury
4 months agoWashington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (knee) had his night cut short by injury against Oklahoma City on Monday. He appeared to have hurt his right knee in the fourth quarter in a collision with Thunder big man Isaiah Hartenstein. With Alex Sarr (back) absent on Monday, Bagley III was back in the rotation and performed well before making a premature exit. The 25-year-old finished with seven points, six rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 16 minutes of action. Further tests will reveal the severity of Bagley III's injury, but it looked a pretty bad one and might leave him on the shelf for quite some time.

Marvin Bagley III Draws Rare Start
4 months agoWashington Wizards forward Marvin Bagley III will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It looks like the Wizards have decided to shake up their starting five and give Bagley a bigger look. It's worth noting that Bagley has played nine minutes or less in every game this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Bagley in this one considering he has barely played. Jonas Valanciunas will come off the bench, but is the much better streaming option between the two ahead of this game.

Marvin Bagley III Out Again On Friday
1 year agoWashington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (knee) will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a knee sprain and this will be his 32nd missed game of the season. Since this is the last game of the year for the Wizards, fantasy managers and those creating DFS lineups can safely drop Bagley until next season. He ended the year averaging 11.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.2 turnovers per game across 50 total appearances and 25 starts for the Wizards and Detroit Pistons. On Friday, since Richaun Holmes (toe) is questionable, the safer streaming option would be Anthony Gill for big-man stats, but he's an overall risky option.

Marvin Bagley III Sidelined Against Toronto
1 year agoWashington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (knee) remains out for Sunday's matchup with Toronto. The 25-year-old missed the last two games because of a sprained knee. While he hasn't officially been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, fantasy managers likely won't see him on the floor until next season. With Kyle Kuzma (ankle) and Richaun Holmes (toe) questionable, Tristan Vukcevic, coming off a 17-point, seven-rebound, two-steal effort in Friday's loss to Portland, may continue to remain in the starting lineup.
