Kings await results of MRI after Marvin Bagley III suffers another foot injury
The Kings are awaiting the results of an MRI after prized young big man Marvin Bagley III went down with another injury during practice inside the NBA bubble near Orlando.
The Kings said Bagley underwent an MRI after hurting his right foot during Sunday’s practice. The team said it is awaiting further evaluation of the MRI from doctors and will update Bagley’s condition when results are available.
Bagley, the No. 2 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, has appeared in only 13 games this season. He missed 22 games with a broken thumb early in the season and 25 of the last 29 games with a left midfoot sprain.
The Kings are already missing point guard De’Aaron Fox, who is expected to be reevaluated soon after spraining an ankle in practice last week, and Harrison Barnes, who remains in Sacramento under COVID-19 protocols. Richaun Holmes is still under 10-day quarantine orders for inadvertently leaving the NBA bubble.
The Kings will play the first of three scrimmages Wednesday when they face the Miami Heat. They will begin seeding games against the San Antonio Spurs on July 31.
