The Kings have informed forward Marvin Bagley III that he will not start for the Kings in the season-opener Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, per his agent Jeff Schwartz in a release. Schwartz went on to criticize Sacramento for its handing of Bagley.
"Sacramento has informed Marvin Bagley he is not in the opening night rotation, which is completely baffling," Schwartz said in the release. "It's clear they have no plans for him in the future, and yet, passed on potential deals at last year's deadline and this summer based on 'value.'
"Instead, they chose to bring him back but not play him, a move completely contradictory to their 'value' argument.
