Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Missing second straight game
Rotowire
Bagley (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Bagley will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a hip injury. The Wizards are at least getting Alex Sarr (toe) back for Saturday's game, and Bagley's absence means Tristan Vukcevic should still see meaningful minutes off the bench despite reverting to a bench role. Bagley's next opportunity to play is Tuesday against the Hawks.

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Bagley (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Bagley was initially listed as doubtful for this NBA Cup matchup against the Raptors, the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the downgrade to out isn't surprising. It remains to be seen if the forward, who will miss a game for the first time in 2025-26 on Friday, will be able to make a quick return Saturday against the Bulls.

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Doubtful for Friday
Rotowire
Bagley is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors with a right hip contusion.
Bagley produced 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 loss to the Timberwolves, but he walked away from the game with a hip injury. Alex Sarr (toe) is questionable, meaning the Wizards may need to rely on Tristan Vukcevic.
Bagley closed with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 loss to the Timberwolves.
Bagley did some damage on both ends of the floor, putting together his best performance of the season. With Alex Sarr (toe) sidelined, it was Bagley who was elevated into the starting center role. While he has been a regular part of the rotation thus far, this was easily his most sizeable role. If Sarr is forced to miss additional time, Bagley could be a potential streaming option, even in standard formats.

Bagley is in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
The Wizards will turn to Bagley as the starting center Wednesday due to the absence of Alex Sarr (toe).

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Tallies six defensive stats
Rotowire
Bagley closed with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals over 16 minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime loss to the Pistons.
Bagley went to work on the defensive end of the floor, recording six combined steals and blocks. Given he had a combined seven steals and blocks across the previous 10 games, we can safely assume that this was nothing more than an outlier. Barring an injury to Alex Sarr, Bagley can safely be left on the waiver wire.

Rotowire
Bagley is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a sprained right ankle.

Rotowire
Bagley notched 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 139-134 overtime loss to the 76ers.
Alex Sarr will rightfully get all the headlines after his 31-point eruption, but Bagley was a bright spot off the bench for Washington with a season-high 14 points. Through four regular-season contests, Bagley holds averages of 6.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals in 14.6 minutes per contest.

With Alex Sarr (rest) sidelined, Bagley got the starting nod in Monday's contest. The big man led the Wizards in scoring and also grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds.

Rotowire
Bagley has agreed to a one-year contract with the Wizards, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Grizzlies' Marvin Bagley: Idle in final two playoff games
Rotowire
Bagley did not play in Game 3 or Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Thunder.
Bagley saw extended playing time in a Game 1 blowout, finishing with 17 points, five rebounds, two steals and one block over 16 minutes, but he proceeded to record only one rebound over 11 minutes in Game 2. Bagley started the regular season with the Wizards but was traded to the Grizzlies in early February. He appeared in just 12 regular-season games (one start) for Memphis due to an ankle injury and concussion, averaging 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds over 8.3 minutes. The 2018 first-round pick out of Duke will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Grizzlies' Marvin Bagley: Perfect off bench in playoff loss
Rotowire
Bagley logged 17 points (8-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one block and two steals across 16 minutes during Sunday's 131-80 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Bagley provided a big spark off the Memphis bench in Sunday's first-round showdown, shooting a perfect mark from the field -- including a 47-foot bucket to close out the third quarter -- while securing a team-high-tying scoring total and leading all Grizzlies in steals. Bagley surpassed the 15-point mark in three games during the regular season, the most recent being the regular-season finale last Sunday.

Grizzlies' Marvin Bagley: Slides to second unit vs. Warriors
Rotowire
Bagley won't start in Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
The 26-year-old big man will retreat to the bench after receiving the starting nod in the club's regular-season finale against Dallas on Sunday due to Zach Edey (ankle) being sidelined. Bagley has logged a DNP in three of Memphis' last six outings, and over his last five appearances in the second unit, he has averaged 0.8 points and 1.2 rebounds across only 4.0 minutes per game.
Bagley notched 25 points (11-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 132-97 win over Dallas.
Bagley made the most of the opportunity to feature Sunday and posted an excellent stat line. However, he's quite low in the pecking order in the rotation, so he's not likely to see a big role in the frontcourt once the playoffs begin. At least he'll be a depth option for any of the two frontcourt roles behind either Jaren Jackson or Zach Edey.

Grizzlies' Marvin Bagley: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Bagley is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Mavericks on Sunday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Bagley has seen inconsistent playing time with the Grizzlies, but he'll make his first start for Memphis due to the absences of Zach Edey (ankle), Jaren Jackson (back) and Santi Aldama (ankle). Bagley is averaging 1.6 points and 1.5 rebounds across 6.2 minutes per game for the Grizzlies this season, though he should get an extended run in Sunday's regular-season finale.
