Marvin Bagley III needed help off the court on Tuesday after a non-contact knee injury during a preseason game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
If serious, the injury will mark another tough blow for the former No. 2 overall pick, who's seen his career limited by various injuries since joining the NBA out of Duke in 2018. Knee issues cost him 20 games during his rookie season with the Sacramento Kings. His 62-game tally that season remains a career high. He hasn't played in more than 48 games in any of his three seasons since.
A thumb injury limited him to 13 games in the COVID-19 shortened 2019-20 season. Foot, calf, wrist and groin injuries have limited his availability since. As didBagley got a fresh start with the Pistonsafter his tumultuous stint with the Kings saw him fail to live up to his status as the No. 2 pick. In 18 games in Detroit, he averaged 14.6 points and 6.8 rebounds while shooting 55.5% from the floor last season.
