Kings fans waited weeks to see the best of rookie big man Marvin Bagley III. Now they can’t wait to see what he’ll do next.
Bagley put up 18 points and 10 rebounds against the Los Angeles Clippers on Nov. 29 before leaving the game in the fourth quarter with lower back spasms. As he left the floor, television cameras captured Bagley doubled over in the tunnel leading to the Kings’ locker room, apparently in considerable pain.
Bagley, the No. 2 pick in June’s NBA draft, has missed the past two games due to the injury. An MRI taken earlier this week revealed nothing of concern and Bagley is listed as day-to-day, but the Kings have not indicated whether he will return during the current four-game trip.
