MARVIN BAGLEY III NEWS

Available to play Friday Bagley (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Bagley is set to return following a one-game absence due to a non-COVID illness. His return should affect many fantasy decisions, though, as the big man has averaged a mere 6.8 minutes per game off the bench in his previous five contests.

Questionable for Friday Bagley (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Bagley has been dealing with a non-COVID illness that caused him to miss the Monday matchup against the Warriors. Even if available, Bagley has been a non-factor off the bench for Washington and averages a mere 6.8 minutes per game. He shouldn't be targeted in any format regarding his availability.

Listed out for Monday Bagley (illness) will not play Monday against the Warriors.

Impact Bagley was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest and remains day-to-day. Bagley hasn't been a consistent part of the rotation, however, so this news doesn't carry many fantasy implications.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Bagley is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact After playing 10 minutes in each of the first two games of the season, Bagley has played six or fewer minutes in three straight matchups. His potential absence would likely mean a few extra minutes for Richaun Holmes.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production in loss Bagley closed Saturday's 135-116 loss to the Cavaliers with nine points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and one block across 10 minutes.

Impact Bagley has played exactly 10 minutes off the bench in back-to-back games to start the season. He's totaled 17 points, 12 rebounds, an assist and a block. That's solid per-minute production, but Bagley finds himself firmly behind Alex Sarr and Jonas Valanciunas on the depth chart.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Bagley isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks.

Impact Jonas Valanciunas will replace Bagley in the starting five Friday after sitting out Washington's previous contest for rest purposes. Bagley is expected to compete for a depth role in the Wizards' frontcourt this season.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Bagley will enter the starting five in Monday's preseason game versus the Nets.

Impact Alex Sarr will sit with calf soreness, giving Bagley the opportunity to enter the starting lineup. The 25-year-old is expected to compete for playing time off the bench with Richaun Holmes behind Jonas Valanciunas, but Bagley has yet to appear in more than 50 regular-season outings since his rookie season in 2018-19 (62 games).

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go during training camp Bagley (knee) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bagley missed six straight games to end the 2023-24 regular season, but that was likely precautionary. The Duke product carved out a consistent role after a mid-season trade to Washington last year and produced enough to be fantasy-relevant. However, after the offseason acquisition of Jonas Valanciunas, Bagley will be competing for backup frontcourt minutes with Alex Sarr, Richaun Holmes and Tristan Vukcevic.

MAY 19

Out again Sunday Bagley (knee) will not play Sunday against the Celtics.

Impact Bagley remains week-to-week for the Wizards and was unable to return for the finale. In 24 appearances for the Wizards, Bagley produced averages of 13.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain sidelined Friday Bagley (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Bagley sustained a knee injury last week and is deemed week-to-week, and he'll be sidelined for the Wizards' penultimate game of the regular season. It seems unlikely that the 25-year-old will be back in action for Sunday's regular-season finale against Boston.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Considered week-to-week Interim coach Brian Keefe said Wednesday that Bagley (knee) is being treated as week-to-week, Bijan Todd of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Bagley has already been ruled out for Wednesday's contest due to a right knee sprain but is now set to miss an extended period. Tristan Vukcevic and Eugene Omoruyi are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. With the Wizards already eliminated from playoff contention, it wouldn't be surprising to see Bagley shut down for the remainder of the season.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Bagley (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Bagley didn't return Tuesday after leaving the win over the Bucks in the second quarter due to a right knee sprain. He'll miss the second half of Washington's back-to-back set and turn his sights on suiting up for Friday's matchup against Portland. Richaun Holmes (toe) is questionable, so if both big men are out, Tristan Vukcevic and Eugene Omoruyi would be candidates for increased roles.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't return Tuesday Bagley (knee) finished Tuesday's 117-113 win over the Bucks with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in nine minutes.

Impact After exiting Tuesday's contest with 7:59 remaining in the second quarter due to a knee injury, Bagley was unable to re-enter the game. Trian Vukcevic saw increased playing time in his absence. Bagley's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with the Lakers.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Helped to locker room Tuesday Bagley was helped to the locker room after suffering a knee injury on an awkward fall during Tuesday's game against Milwaukee, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Wizards have not offered a diagnosis yet, but the fact that Bagley was helped off the court while holding the outside of his right knee is not a good sign for his potential return. If he can't return, then Eugene Omoruyi and Tristan Vukcevic would be in line for more prominent roles the rest of the game.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Second straight double-double Bagley totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals over 26 minutes during Sunday's 119-107 loss to the Heat.

Impact Bagley has started in the Wizards' last two games due to the absence of Kyle Kuzma (), but he's responded well with back-to-back double-doubles. There are no signs of the Wizards wanting to shut Kuzma down for the rest of the season, as the team has nothing to play for, but if that's the case, then Bagley would suddenly become more valuable down the stretch. He's averaging 13.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in a starting role while also riding a streak of five consecutive outings with double-digit points.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Records double-double in start Bagley registered 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 27 minutes during Friday's 96-87 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Bagley got the start Friday due to Richaun Holmes (toe) sidelined. Bagley took advantage of the opportunity as he notched his eighth double-double of the season and his first since March 1 against the Clippers. Bagley's playing time for Sunday's game against the Heat will depend on whether Holmes will have recovered enough from his left toe contusion or not.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday sans Holmes Bagley will start Friday's game against the Pistons.

Impact With Richaun Holmes (toe) sidelined, Bagley will move into the starting lineup again. From Feb. 10 to March 4, Bagley drew 10 straight starts for the Wizards and averaged 11.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 blocks in 26.2 minutes.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient off bench Monday Bagley finished with 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 17 minutes off the bench during Monday's 107-105 win over the Bulls.

Impact Playing his second game since returning from a back issue, Bagley remained behind Richaun Holmes on the depth chart at center for the Wizards but had a very efficient offensive performance. Holmes has been a beast on the glass the last few games, so while the 25-year-old Bagley is more likely to be part of the team's future plans, they may be in no rush to push him back into the starting five to close out the 2023-24 season.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches double figures in return Bagley notched 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks over 17 minutes in Saturday's 112-109 win over Toronto.

Impact Bagley returned Sunday after missing the last nine games due to a lumbar sprain, coming off the bench while leading all Wizards bench players in scoring and rebounds and ending two board shy of a double-double. Bagley, who also tallied a team-high-tying pair of blocks, has posted at least 10 points and eight rebounds in 13 games this season, four of which have occurred while coming off the bench.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return Saturday Bagley (back) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Raptors.

Impact Bagley will return to action Saturday after missing Washington's last nine contests due to a lumbar sprain. While Bagley will likely replace Richaun Holmes in the starting lineup, it wouldn't be surprising for him to operate on a minutes restriction.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Another absence coming Bagley (back) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Kings.

Impact Bagley's absence streak will extend to nine games Thursday due to a lumbar sprain. While there is no set timetable for his return, Bagley's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Toronto.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Bagley (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Bagley will miss an eighth straight game due to a lumbar strain. Richaun Holmes should draw another start, while Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Gill operate as backups, given Eugene Omoruyi (ankle) is also out.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sunday Bagley (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Bagley will miss a seventh straight game, so Richaun Holmes should draw another start at center. Bagley's next chance to suit up comes Tuesday versus Houston.
