Marvin Bagley III Knee Injury Diagnosed as Mild Sprain, Out vs. Georgia Tech

Duke Blue Devils forward Marvin Bagley III will miss Sunday's game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets after he suffered a mild knee sprain in a loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels on Thursday.

Bagley played 39 minutes despite suffering the injury in the first half and scored 15 points and grabbed 16 rebounds.

It's the second time Bagley has been banged up this season. The first instance was in Duke's third game of the season, as the freshman was forced to leave a Champions Classic showdown against the Michigan State Spartans after he was poked in the eye.

The injury didn't prove major, however, and Bagley did not miss any games.

Twenty-four contests into his collegiate career, the projected NBA lottery pick is averaging 21.2 points and 11.4 rebounds per game while shooting 59.6 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from three.

Should Bagley miss more time, head coach Mike Krzyzewski will have to turn to a frontcourt by committee to fill in for the 6'11" Arizona native. Wendell Carter Jr. and Marques Bolden should help pick up the slack.
