“I’m good. Throughout a game you get shaken up a little bit, but you’ve just got to shake it off.” — Marvin Bagley III on his foot – 10:20 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Marvin Bagley said he’s feeling good. No issues. He looked like he had a limp for a few trips up the court. – 10:20 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
“I just felt like he was going to make a big shot for us. So if there’s any question about it or anything, that would be on me, because I’m the one that decided to keep him out there.” -Gentry on playing Buddy Hield – 9:53 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
“He’s always a threat to be out there. He creates space, as we talked about. He’s going through a tough time right now. He’s not shooting the ball well, but he’s always a threat to shoot it.” -Gentry on the decision to keep Buddy Hield on the floor – 9:52 PM Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Marvin Bagley III looked a little hobbled late in the game, but Alvin Gentry says he’s not aware of any foot or ankle injury. – 9:45 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Buddy Hield is now a train wreck. 13 points in his first 11 minutes. Now he keeps shooting and missing. Stuck on 13. 5-of-16 shooting. – 8:47 PM Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Was worried about Bagley’s ankle there for a second but nope looks like he’s good. He has 15 points and eight rebounds for the Kings, who lead the Hornets 99-98 going into the fourth quarter. – 8:43 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Marvin Bagley with another put back. 15 points, 8 rebounds. – 8:41 PM James Plowright @British_Buzz
Cody Martin gives up the potential highlight 3 after dropping Bagley to give Hayward a layup, that sums him up right there – 8:40 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Bouknight is hurting the Kings from 3-point range. No reason for Buddy Hield to leave his feet and give up an easy look, especially after the rookie just hit a 3-ball moments before. – 8:37 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Beautiful drive and drop by Fox to a cutting Marvin Bagley. Cutting with a purpose. – 8:33 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Kings take a 71-69 lead into the half. Fox and Hield each have 13 points. 9 points for both Bagley and Haliburton. – 8:04 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Bagley has 9 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists in the first half. – 8:01 PM Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Good to see Buddy Hield getting to the basket more than he used to because:
1) He’s a great free-throw shooter.
2) He’s proving to be a really crafty and effective finisher.
3) He’s 7 of 46 (.152) from 3-point range over the last six games. – 7:45 PM Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Good things happening with Marvin Bagley in the game again. – 7:43 PM Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Buddy Hield playing well (offensively) so far tonight. – 7:39 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Bagley with the nice little dish to Buddy for an And-1. Buddy is up to 11 points. – 7:38 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Buddy Hield with another 3-ball. 8 makes from deep from Kings. – 7:36 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Marvin Bagley making an immediate impact. 5 points. Nice corner 3. – 7:31 PM James Ham @James_HamNBA
Buddy Hield triple. He needed that. – 7:30 PM

More on this storyline

Hield’s name is likely to come up multiple times between now and the NBA’s February 10 trade deadline, like it did during the offseason. He’s under contract for another two seasons at nearly $40 million, but with his declining scale money and his ability to launch from distance, there should be a market. -via Kings Beat / December 6, 2021 Buddy Hield recently broke Peja Stojakovic’s franchise record for three-pointers, but it remains to be seen how many more threes he’ll make for the Kings. “Buddy’s going to be gone,” one NBA executive told HoopsHype bluntly. “They already traded him and had a done deal.” -via HoopsHype / October 24, 2021 Matt George: Tristan Thompson just took the mic from Buddy Hield during a question about the offseason trade rumors and told the media that Buddy is a King, he can’t control the past, and that he will get Buddy open with a lot of screens. -via Twitter @MattGeorgeSAC / September 27, 2021
