Washington 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.
Washington 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.
Washington Wizards center Marvin Bagley III (knee) won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Trail Blazers. Despite battling various ailments since arriving in Washington, Bagley has played well, averaging 13.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. He's considered week-to-week, meaning his year is likely over. But with Richaun Holmes (toe) questionable for Friday night, Tristan Vukcevic, who had 15 points, three boards, and one block on Wednesday against the Lakers, could enter the DFS value conversation.
Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest against Toronto, suggesting he's available to return to the lineup. The 25-year-old has missed nine of the most recent games while dealing with a back problem. Bagley III has been Washington's starting center over the final stretch of the season, registering four double-doubles in his last nine appearances. His return is bad news for Richaun Holmes, who's set to be relegated to the bench. The comeback comes at a juicy spot, as Toronto is a bottom-tier rebounding team and allows centers to shoot over 58 percent from the field.
Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) will miss a seventh straight game on Sunday versus the Celtics. The big man remains on the injury report with lower back spasms and will get his next opportunity to return on Tuesday in a matchup against Houston. Richaun Holmes should pick up another start at center on Sunday. He returned to the lineup from a toe injury Saturday against Chicago, logging 26 minutes. It was a quiet outing for Holmes, who registered only seven points and four rebounds. He should be capable of improving the numbers on Sunday, although it's a very tough matchup for Holmes and the Wizards.
Marvin Bagley III Set To Miss Sixth Consecutive Game
Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) won't be ready to return to action on Saturday against Chicago. The 25-year-old will miss a sixth consecutive game due to lower back spasms. Luckily for the Wizards, Richaun Holmes (toe) looks to be on the mend and a possibility for Saturday's matchup after being tagged as questionable for the game. He had a pair of strong games without Bagley before hurting his left big toe. If Holmes can't return, Kyle Kuzma looks set for another start at the center position. The Bulls are strong at center with Nikola Vucevic and Andre Drummond, meaning this is going to be a very challenging matchup for Washington.
Washington Wizards center Marvin Bagley III (back) won't play on Thursday against Houston. He's dealing with back spasms and has already missed four games. At this rate, the chance of him sitting out the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign continues to grow, primarily since the Wizards have already been eliminated from Play-In contention. With Richaun Holmes (toe) questionable, Kyle Kuzma could continue to hold things down in the middle, with Corey Kispert remaining in the starting lineup. Kispert had 22 points in Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies and will be a popular DFS value option if he rolls with the first five again on Thursday night.
Washington Wizards center Marvin Bagley III (back) remains out on Tuesday versus Memphis. The 24-year-old suffered a back injury during a meeting with the Utah Jazz and has missed the last three games. Richaun Holmes (toe) had been getting extra work. However, Holmes is battling a big toe sprain, so he may not be available against the Grizzlies, either. If that's the case, the Wizards will likely play small, meaning Kyle Kuzma will slide over to the five spot, with Corey Kispert, who is coming off a 22-point effort, the favorite to remain in the starting lineup.
Washington Wizards center Marvin Bagley III (back) remains out for Friday's game against the Hornets. The 2018 No. 2 overall pick exited Monday's matchup with the Utah Jazz because of back spasms and was ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Barring a significant setback, Bagley should be back soon. But until he returns to the lineup, Kyle Kuzma may spend time at the five spot. Richaun Holmes, who had 12 points, five rebounds, and two steals on Wednesday, is also worth adding to fantasy rosters despite the risk.
Washington Wizards center/power forward Marvin Bagley III (back) is officially ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Bagley left Washington's previous game on Monday against the Utah Jazz after lower back spasms forced him out. A mid-season trade from the Detroit Pistons to Washington gave Bagley more importance for the Wizards, with averages of 13.5 points and 8.6 rebounds in 25.2 minutes per game. Richaun Holmes and Eugene Omoruyi are the Washington backups to likely see an increase in minutes in his absence. There's also a chance Kyle Kuzma slides over to the five spot, allowing more action for Bilal Coulibaly and Corey Kispert.
