Sacramento Kings big man Marvin Bagley III suffered a fracture in his left hand in Monday's loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the team announced postgame.

The 22-year-old lefty's fourth metacarpal is the afflicted digit - the ring finger on his shooting hand. Bagley will undergo further evaluation, the club said.

Bagley played 16 first-half minutes Monday, finishing with 12 points, three rebounds, and one block. He did not re-enter the game after halftime.

The third-year pro has averaged 13.9 points and 7.6 rebounds in just 26 minutes per game. Bagley’s also connected on a career-best 36.2% of his threes, heaving 2.6 long-range attempts per contest.
