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.
