Duke One-And-Done Posterizes Another No. 2 Draft Pick Marvin Bagley III, a former No. 2 overall draft pick, must be aggressive to earn a permanent spot in the Detroit Pistons’ regular rotation t...
Moves to bench Bagley will come off the bench for Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder.
Impact Jalen Duren is back in the starting lineup after recovering from his ankle injury, moving Bagley to his usual bench role. Bagley is competing with James Wiseman for a rotation spot in Detroit, and both players have responded with strong showings in the preseason.

Starting against OKC Bagley is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Bagley will get the nod over Jalen Duren at center, as the latter was deemed inactive due to a mild ankle sprain he suffered in Detroit's preseason opener. Bagley is competing for a bench spot as a frontcourt backup, and a solid showing here would tighten his grip into becoming a rotation piece once the 2023-24 season starts.
OCTOBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Fighting for backup role Pistons coach Monty Williams said Wednesday that Bagley and James Wiseman are competing for "the backup big spot", Omari Sankofa of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Bagley made 25 starts across 42 appearances last season in Detroit, averaging 12.0 points and 6.4 rebounds in 23.5 minutes. However, it appears that there may only be enough room in the Pistons' rotation for one of Bagley or Wiseman. The backup center role competition between the two could continue throughout training camp and the preseason.

Remains sidelined Wednesday Bagley (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Impact Bagley is in the concussion protocol and will be unavailable for a second consecutive game. Eugene Omoruyi is a candidate to see increased run once again, while Bagley has just two more opportunities to return during the regular season.

Pours in season-high 31 Bagley closed with 31 points (12-19 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 129-107 loss to the Hawks.
Impact It's the best scoring effort of the season for the fifth-year big, topping the 21 points he supplied in each of the final two games in February. Bagley missed three games in March with an ankle injury, but when healthy, he's taken on a key role in the Pistons frontcourt, averaging 15.2 points, 8.4 boards, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks over his last 10 contests while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor.

Returns with double-digit outing Bagley supplied 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 loss to the Heat.
Impact Bagley returned to the lineup after missing the last three games due to an ankle injury, finishing as one of six Pistons players to surpass the double-digit scoring total Sunday. Bagley has tallied 10 or more points 22 times this season.
MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Sunday Bagley is starting Sunday's game against Miami, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Bagley missed the last three games due to an ankle injury and will have his minutes monitored Sunday, but he'll be back in the starting lineup while Eugene Omoruyi retreats to the bench. Over Bagley's last five appearances, he's averaged 11.4 points and 6.8 rebounds in 28.4 minutes per game.
MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Will be monitored Sunday Head coach Dwane Casey said Bagley (ankle) will have his minutes monitored during Sunday's game against Miami, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Bagley is set to suit up for the first time following a three-game absence, but it sounds like the Pistons will be cautious with the lefty big man, which may mean he'll operate off the bench. Across 15 games as a reserve, Bagley has averaged 10.7 points and 6.9 rebounds, which isn't too far off his averages as a starter -- 11.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18 games.
MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Not listed on injury report Bagley (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Heat.
Impact Bagley is set to return following a three-game absence. It wouldn't be shocking if he moves straight into the starting lineup, given he started in his previous five appearances prior to suffering the injury. He's averaging 13.4 points and 9.1 rebounds across 26.6 minutes per game over his last eight contests (five starts).
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to miss next few games Dwane Casey said he expects Marvin Bagley to miss "the next few games" with his ankle injury, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bagley exited Saturday's game after rolling his ankle, and now it looks like he'll be missing both games of Detroit's upcoming back-to-back set. James Wiseman and Jalen Duren will hold down Detroit's frontcourt while Bagley is out. The Pistons are also currently without Isaiah Stewart (hip), who may not play again this season.
MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hurts ankle, done early Saturday Bagley was diagnosed with right ankle soreness won't return to Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Impact With the Pistons already short on bodies, Bagley's absence for the rest of the night will force head coach Dwane Casey to heavily rely on Isaiah Livers and Eugene Omoruyi to fill out minutes at power forward. Bagley finishes the contest with six points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes.
MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Upgraded to available Bagley (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Impact As expected, Bagley will suit up for Saturday's tilt after initially being listed as probable with right ankle soreness. Since entering the starting lineup four games ago, Bagley has averaged 12.8 points,7.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks across 30.0 minutes, and he should be expected to handle a similar workload Saturday.
MARCH 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to play Saturday Bagley is probable for Saturday's game versus the Pacers due to right ankle soreness.
Impact It is unclear when Bagley picked up his ankle injury, but it isn't expected to keep him out Saturday. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 12.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks in 30.0 minutes in his last four games since being inserted in the starting lineup.
MARCH 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Contributes on both ends Bagley recorded 20 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 114-90 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Bagley had his best game of the season Saturday, adding four combined steals and blocks to his usual points/boards stat set. The Pistons are missing a couple of key frontcourt pieces right now, affording Bagley plenty of run. While he won't be this good all too often, he is worth rostering in 12-team formats, if not only for his ability to flirt with a double-double on a nightly basis.

Starting alongside Wiseman Bagley will start Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Saturday marks Bagley's first start since Dec. 7, and he's getting the nod alongside James Wiseman for a tough frontcourt matchup against Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. Over the past three games, Bagley has averaged 16.7 points and 13.0 boards in 23.7 minutes.
MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Double-double off bench Monday Bagley totaled 21 points (10-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Monday's 117-106 loss to the Hornets.
Impact That's now two double-doubles in two games since Bagley returned from a hand issue that had kept him sidelined since early January. Isaiah Livers (ankle) joined Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (hip) on the injured list Monday, and while none of those injuries are viewed as serious, Bagley could find himself in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Bulls.

Posts big double-double in return Bagley (hand) generated 21 points (9-19 FG, 3-8 FT, 0-2 3Pt), 18 rebounds and one block across 28 minutes in Saturday's 95-91 loss to the Raptors.
Impact Making his return to action after a 20-game absence, Bagley came off the bench in his first appearance since Jan. 2 and proceeded to lead the Pistons in both points and rebounds. Despite his strong production in both categories, Bagley's overall fantasy line was still lacking in just about every other area, including in efficiency from both the field and free-throw line. Though Bagley would have some appeal in 12-team points leagues if he can produce double-doubles regularly, it's unclear if he'll receive this sort of playing time consistently. The Pistons were without top center Jalen Duren (ankle), resulting in Bagley and fill-in starter James Wiseman (20 minutes) splitting the playing time at center. Once Duren is healthy, Bagley or Wiseman could find himself as the odd man out, or head coach Dwane Casey could include all three centers in the rotation in an arrangement that would limit the fantasy upside of each player.
