Detroit — Pistons fans can exhale now that there’s a clearer idea of the injury to Marvin Bagley III’s right knee.
An MRI performed on Wednesday revealed that the 6-foot-10 forward suffered a bone bruise and a sprained MCL in his right knee, according to a statement from the team. He's expected to miss the next three to four weeks, with rest and rehab.
Bagley suffered the injury during the first minute of Detroit’s 115-99 loss to Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
The good news for the Pistons and Bagley is that the knee injury isn't more serious and will not require surgery.
