Already beset by injuries to several potential rotation pieces, the Detroit Pistons got a bit of good news Wednesday when the team revealed Marvin Bagley avoided the most serious knee injury and only sustained an MCL sprain and bone bruise in Tuesday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bagley will miss three to four weeks and then be re-evaluated, the team announced.
The Pistons big man started and played just one minute before crumpling to the floor with his leg twisting awkwardly after stepping on the foot of a Thunder player. Bagley could not put any pressure on his right leg and needed to be carried off the floor with the help of teammates.
