Rookie big man Marvin Bagley III still hasn’t targeted a date for his return from a knee injury, but his recovery might be progressing quicker than the Kings anticipated.
The Kings announced Dec. 28 that Bagley would “resume full basketball activities” in approximately two weeks, but Bagley said Wednesday he is already running, jumping, sliding, shooting and working on his ball handling. Bagley said he has also been in the weight room, strengthening his quadriceps and other muscles in his legs, and he is doing so without experiencing any pain.
“Everything basketball related, I’ve been doing that, and I’m getting more comfortable with it every day,” Bagley said.
