Multiple sources told me that Marvin Bagley III refused to check into Sunday's game when Luke Walton called upon him in the second half vs. the Suns.

I didn't report it, wanting to first talk to the Kings coach.

Luke Walton declined to confirm if Marvin Bagley III declined to check in Sunday's game. This video was shortly after as players and coaches offered support. https://t.co/klSIU3DMXT

The Kings were down 22 to start the 4th quarter all without Bagley. They ended up losing 109-104.

Bagley hits free agency next summer, and there’s very little chance he’ll return to the Kings.

Definitely not the right way to go about being unhappy with your employer.
