Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Puts up 22 points in start
Rotowire
Bagley notched 22 points (11-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes in Monday's 129-126 win over Milwaukee.
Bagley had missed three consecutive games due to a right hip contusion before being cleared in advance of Friday's 119-86 loss to the Pacers. Though he didn't play in that game in a coach's decision, Bagley moved from outside the rotation to into the starting five Monday while top center Alex Sarr (adductor) was sidelined. Bagley didn't disappoint in Sarr's stead, and in two starts this season, the 26-year-old has averaged 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 30.0 minutes. Sarr has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia, so Bagley will once again profile as a strong streaming option for those looking for aid in the points, rebounds and field-goal percentage categories.

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Bagley (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.
Bagley has missed the Wizards' past two games due to a right hip contusion and is questionable to return Tuesday. The 2018 first-round pick has held a steady bench role in the frontcourt, averaging 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.8 minutes across 14 appearances (one start) this season. If he remains out, Tristan Vukcevic would be positioned for increased minutes at center.

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Missing second straight game
Rotowire
Bagley (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Bagley will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a hip injury. The Wizards are at least getting Alex Sarr (toe) back for Saturday's game, and Bagley's absence means Tristan Vukcevic should still see meaningful minutes off the bench despite reverting to a bench role. Bagley's next opportunity to play is Tuesday against the Hawks.

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Bagley (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Bagley was initially listed as doubtful for this NBA Cup matchup against the Raptors, the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the downgrade to out isn't surprising. It remains to be seen if the forward, who will miss a game for the first time in 2025-26 on Friday, will be able to make a quick return Saturday against the Bulls.

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Doubtful for Friday
Rotowire
Bagley is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors with a right hip contusion.
Bagley produced 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 loss to the Timberwolves, but he walked away from the game with a hip injury. Alex Sarr (toe) is questionable, meaning the Wizards may need to rely on Tristan Vukcevic.
Bagley closed with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 loss to the Timberwolves.
Bagley did some damage on both ends of the floor, putting together his best performance of the season. With Alex Sarr (toe) sidelined, it was Bagley who was elevated into the starting center role. While he has been a regular part of the rotation thus far, this was easily his most sizeable role. If Sarr is forced to miss additional time, Bagley could be a potential streaming option, even in standard formats.

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Tallies six defensive stats
Rotowire
Bagley closed with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals over 16 minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime loss to the Pistons.
Bagley went to work on the defensive end of the floor, recording six combined steals and blocks. Given he had a combined seven steals and blocks across the previous 10 games, we can safely assume that this was nothing more than an outlier. Barring an injury to Alex Sarr, Bagley can safely be left on the waiver wire.

Rotowire

He played in 31 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign but rarely saw the floor, averaging 8.5 minutes per game.
