Woj reported that Bagley would undergo further testing to determine his next steps to return to the team. Bagley is averaging 10.7 points and 5.9 rebounds on 53.7 percent shooting for a Detroit team already without Cade Cunningham, who suffered a shin injury that ultimately needed season-ending surgery to repair.
