Marvin Bagley III Stats

Detroit 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.

Detroit Pistons center Marvin Bagley III (illness) has been given the green light to get back onto the floor for Friday's game vs. Chicago. Bagley had missed Detroit's previous two outings due to an illness. In his absence, Jalen Duren has further emerged as a rebounding dynamo alongside Isaiah Stewart in the frontcourt; for now, Bagley should continue to have a solid floor as an 18-20-minute contributor off the bench. While his role may not jump off the page, Bagley has shot a career-best 54.5 percent from the floor this season, averaging 10.7 points and 6.1 boards per contest.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Marvin Bagley III (illness) will miss a second consecutive game Wednesday versus Orlando. He was taken out by a non-COVID illness at the start of the week and Bagley III still needs some time to recover. Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren carried the frontcourt against the Clippers on Monday, with Saddiq Bey providing cover off the bench. All three performed well and should be strong fantasy options again on Wednesday against a team that has serious defensive issues. Bagley III will have his next chance to return on Friday against Chicago.

Detroit Pistons forward Marvin Bagley III (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was a late addition to the injury report due to a non-COVID related illness. The Pistons will likely use a committee approach to fill the void, assuming Bagley sits out. Kevin Knox II, Nerlens Noel and Saddiq Bey are candidates to see additional playing time if Bagley is unable to go. However, none of them are considered strong streaming options with Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren healthy.
