The Sacramento Kings finished the first part of the NBA season on a hot streak, winning 13 of their last 20 games, but notably absent from that stretch of play was second-year big Marvin Bagley III.
Bagley, the No. 2 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, injured himself in the first game of the season, then came back in December and sprained his left foot after eight games. He re-aggravated that injury four games after returning, and sat out the rest of the season. In a normal year, Bagley would have had no hopes of coming back.
