Sacramento Kings power forward Marvin Bagley will be sidelined for the next few games with a mid-foot sprain to his left foot, the team announced Saturday.

The prognosis comes after the 20-year-old visited a foot specialist.

Bagley was injured in Thursday's double-overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves and left the arena in a walking boot.

The Duke product has been banged up for the majority of the 2019-20 campaign, already missing 22 games after fracturing his right thumb in the Kings' season opener.

Nemanja Bjelica started in his place on Saturday night against the Phoenix Suns.

Last year's second overall pick is averaging 13.7 points and 6.9 boards across nine appearances.

Teammate De'Aaron Fox, who was also injured on Thursday, is currently day-to-day with back spasms.

Sacramento is 12-19 entering Saturday's slate of games.
