Kings' Bagley suffers left knee sprain vs. Bucks
Sacramento Kings rookie Marvin Bagley III exited Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks late in the third quarter with a sprained left knee.
The 19-year-old forward had to be helped off the court by his teammates. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game and is set to undergo an MRI on Thursday, the team announced.
The injury occurred after Bagley collided with Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon, who stepped in to set a screen for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
