Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (knee) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against Charlotte. He sprained his right knee against Oklahoma City on Monday, and it's not fully clear when Bagley II will be able to return to action. Washington's frontcourt also remains without Kyle Kuzma (ribs) on Thursday. The returning Alex Sarr (back) should have a busy night against the Hornets, along with Jonas Valanciunas, who racked up 12 points, 16 rebounds, and a pair of blocks on Monday.
Washington 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.
Washington 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.
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.
