An MRI conducted Wednesday confirmed a bone bruise and a sprained right MCL that will keep Bagley on the sidelines for at least 3-4 weeks, per the Pistons.
Bagley exited Tuesday night's preseason contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first quarter after he slipped in transition, and did not return.
