Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Won't play Friday

Bagley (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Friday will mark Bagley's fourth straight game on the sidelines, but he could be available for the second leg of the back-to-back set Saturday against the 76ers. With Daniel Gafford being shipped away to Dallas on Thursday, the Wizards may be forced to give Kyle Kuzma considerable minutes at center if trade-deadline pickup Richaun Holmes isn't cleared to make his team debut. Once he overcomes his back injury, Bagley could have a big opportunity ahead of him to see sizable minutes as the Wizards' starting center now that Gafford is out of the picture.
