Marvin Bagley III News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Ruled out for Thursday Bagley (illness) will not play Thursday against the Nuggets.

Impact Bagley was unable to clear his questionable tag for this contest. The Wizards are already shorthanded in the frontcourt with Tristan Vukcevic (hamstring) out, so the team may deploy some small-ball combos when Alex Sarr needs a breather.

Iffy for Thursday Bagley is questionable for Thursday's game against Denver due to an illness.

Impact Bagley's status could be determined by a game-time decision following Thursday's pregame warmups. With Tristan Vukcevic out with a hamstring strain, the Wizards could be forced to deploy Will Riley and Justin Champagnie at the center spot more often in small-ball groups behind Alex Sarr.

Logs dounle-double from bench Bagley amassed 15 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Alex Sarr's ejection opened up extra opportunity for Bagley, who has largely been a non-factor in his first full season with the Wizards. The Duke product was a highly-touted first-round pick for the Kings in 2018, but he's failed to find consistent minutes during stints with Memphis and Washington. He showed flashes of his skill set in relief, but Sarr has a stranglehold on the starting job. He won't cede more minutes to Bagley anytime soon.

Cut out of rotation Friday Bagley (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 128-107 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact After missing a Dec. 21 game against the Kings due to a calf injury, Bagley had served as the top backup to starting center Alex Sarr in each of the ensuing nine contests while averaging 10.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.6 steals in 19.0 minutes per contest. The Wizards provided no indication that Bagley was nursing any sort of injury heading into Friday, so the 26-year-old's lack of playing time simply looks to be the result of head coach Brian Keefe wanting to get a look at two-way player Tristan Vukcevic as the team's second-unit center. Vukcevic came through with an excellent line -- 15 points, five blocks, four rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes -- and fits better with the rebuilding Wizards' timeline than Bagley, a well-traveled veteran on an expiring deal. As a result, it wouldn't be surprising if Bagley remains out of the rotation moving forward to allow the Wizards to give Vukcevic an extended evaluation.

Scores 12 off bench Bagley closed with 12 points (2-6 FG, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, one block and two steals in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 win over the Magic.

Impact Bagley had an effective shift off the bench, but it's not a surprise to see him log just 17 minutes with Alex Sarr having the hot hand Tuesday with 23 points. As long as Sarr is active, Bagley's fantasy appeal will likely be limited to deeper formats.

Notches seven points Bagley ended Monday's 115-101 loss to the Suns with seven points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 22 minutes.

Impact Alex Sarr had a nightmare showing in 25 minutes, while Bagley had a much better outing this time around. Sarr is the future of the center spot in Washington, so despite this dud, the Wizards will give him every opportunity to keep developing. Bagley remains one of the better backup centers in the NBA currently.

Questionable for Tuesday Bagley (calf) is questionable to play Tuesday versus the Hornets.

Impact Bagley skipped the second leg of a back-to-back set Sunday due to some soreness in his left calf, but it looks like he might be able to get back out there for Tuesday's game. If Bagley is able to return, he'll split the reserve big man minutes with Tristan Vukcevic.

Not playing Sunday Bagley (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Bagley will miss his first game since Nov. 28 due to a left calf injury, and his next opportunity to play is Tuesday on the road against the Hornets. With both Bagley and Alex Sarr (groin) sidelined for Sunday's game, Tristan Vukcevic figures to be the top candidate to start at center.

Impact Bagley is nursing a sore left calf that puts him in jeopardy of missing Sunday night's game. Alex Sarr (groin) has already been ruled out, so if Bagley is also unable to play, then Tristan Vukcevic would be the top candidate to start at center against San Antonio.

Returns to bench Thursday Bagley provided 13 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Bagley moved back to the bench, with Alex Sarr returning to the starting lineup following an injury-related absence. Bagley had been a viable 12-team asset during Sarr's hiatus, but will likely go back to being more of a streaming candidate. While the production Thursday was serviceable, there is every chance the coaching staff was simply easing Sarr back into the rotation, meaning his playing time could increase rapidly over the next week.

Headed to bench Bagley will come off the bench for Thursday's game in San Antonio.

Impact Alex Sarr is back and starting, so Bagley will return to a reserve role, where his value will take a hit. As a member of the second unit this season, Bagley has recorded averages of 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 14.6 minutes a night.

Leads Wizards to win Bagley produced 23 points (9-14 FG, 5-10 FT), 14 rebounds, one assists, one steal and one block across 32 minutes of Sunday's 108-89 win over the Pacers.

Impact Bagley kept his foot on the gas Sunday with his second straight double-double -- he had 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers. Alex Sarr (thigh) has missed six games in a row and doesn't seem to be close to a return, so Bagley's window to produce solid fantasy numbers remains wide open.
