Kings forward Marvin Bagley III will miss some time as he recovers from a knee injury suffered during Sacramento's 130-125 loss to the Warriors on Friday. 

The rookie had an MRI after the loss, which revealed he is dealing with a left knee bone bruise. He is expected to miss 10 to 14 days before being re-evaluated, the team announced early Saturday.

Bagley left Friday's game during the second quarter and did not return. The 2018 No. 2 overall pick came down awkwardly on his knee after he had his legs taken out from under him on a rebound attempt. He got up on his own but was helped to the locker room. 

Bagley is averaging 12.7 points on 53.6 percent shooting and 6.1 rebounds in 23.1 minutes per game this season.
