Has there been a report of how and when Bagley broke his thumb? Was it at practice or last nights game?
Bagley out 4-6 weeks

People see what they want to see.
As great as Luka's highlights have been, he's still got real efficiency issues and defensively is a matador that is going to require serious game planning around to hide, which I'm sure Kingsfans would have no issue complaining about were he on the roster.

Roid Rage would certainly explain how he managed to somehow injure our three best players over the course of a single minute.

4th quarter, a Sun swiped down on the ball and got the thumb. (Saw on Ham’s Twitter)

His knee problems are structural though. When you have that many issues on both knees something is up.

Game 1 was pretty sloppy. Kings need to play better D, it still the same as last year. Team is able to pick Kings apart by just doing basis pick n roll. I feel the Kings need to play a different style of defense. They should switch everything like Golden State. 70%-90% of the league rely on pick n roll to get guys open and since Kings are really bad at defending....why not just play switching defense. I rather have them getting exploited by mismatches than getting killed constantly by pick n roll. I thought the preach about defense, man i see none of that. Walton had to put in players that actually play defense. The weakness of the Kings' defense come from the very players that they need to rely on for scoring. I am talking about Buddy Hield, Bogi, Bjlcia, Fox.

Any chance we can redo game 1 since the suns are a bunch of cheaters? Or at least change the loss to a no contest like in mma?

As of now Walton hasn't used many rotations that are capable of it so I think that's a sign he's not that into it. They did start to switch a little at some point but yes, just like last year it was not even a remote half commitment when they did. I don't think the Kings have a future as a defensive stopper and certainly not at the expense of their offense at this point. Once the offense comes then good, focus on defense but you saw last night and at times in preseason why they have to start on the offensive end first considering that's going to be the basic makeup of this team and honestly, defense is so 10 years ago. The refs don't allow it anymore anyway.

Oh trust me friend, I’ve been at it since being born in 1987. My parents have old home videos of a little baby me standing on a hot tub reciting the entire roster.
15 years since a last winner. It’s broken me.

No. This was specifically refuted by medical examinations hired by the Kings before he was drafted They were impact accidents, and by chance, happened on either knee. Issues can linger because of the injury, but he does not have "bad knees".

I agree! some people on this forum are absolutely ridiculous and very childish. If a player has a bad couple of games, then that player "sucks", If the team loses, then "the coach sucks". It borders beyond absurdity!!!! I've seen those comments for every single player on this team. I mean come on Kings Fans, we are classier and smarter than this, at least I hope!!!

You, my friend, are much more optimistic about the human condition than I.

Fandom is all about overreacting to every single high and low thrown your way.
Kings fans are just used to low. After low. After low. After low. After low. Etc etc etc

They only pop in to say, AhA, I told you so when things are bad. As soon as the winning starts, they disappear. Its baffling to me.

Early returns this season have shown Doncic has minimized his flaws while Bagley has exacerbated his while showing he can't stay injury free on top of it all.
Bagley was able to shine in the 2nd unit because it had a lack of offensive talent. His offense amounts to that of the old-school, face-up 4 that he is, get the ball on the block and shoot, always. He can put up all the counting stats he wants, but in today's NBA people are going to question if he contributes to winning and/or breaks an offense, hence the Randle comparisons.

Was the injury during garbage time in the 4th quarter?
Since the entire quarter was basically garbage time, I’d say probably?

when it rains it pours, first Harry and now Marvin. Fox is due for an injury too now with his back injury and his slight frame. If Luke decides to go with Nemanja here, he would be taking the Joerger approach, not that it's necessarily a bad thing because he would give Fox more space to work.
If I were going to hazard a guess, I'd say roughly March of 2004.
If by "we", you mean everybody who comes to this site to read about the Kings and instead has to wade through dozens of posts a day pining over a player who is not on the Kings...then yes, we are suffering.
Don't forget, it IS possible to talk about the Kings here and to also sign up for a Mavs board so you can go get your feelz out.

That's what Carmichael Dave was saying on the radio this morning. Some of the same people that complain about every single player on the team are nowhere to be found when the team is winning. He pretty much nailed it. What's pathetic is how they say it after only one game, ONE FRIGGING GAME!!!! or should I say, ONE FRIGGING HALF OF A GAME, and they are ready to fire the coach and state how this player sucks and that player sucks.

Don’t get me wrong, that first game sucked real bad. I’m a little grumpy today but like you said, it’s only one game. They probably started feeling their press clippings and hopefully this is a wake up call to them that they aren’t just going to be handed a playoff spot. They gotta be competitive every night.
