Ruled out Friday Bona (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Magic.

Impact Bona sustained a left knee contusion during the second half of Wednesday's game and did not return. He will also miss Friday's contest, which is unfortunate for the 76ers as they will also be without Joel Embiid (knee) and potentially Andre Drummond (ankle). Guerschon Yabusele will likely see heavy minutes as the team's primary big man.

Recalled to NBA on Sunday Bona was recalled from the 76ers' G League affiliate Sunday, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Moved back to G League The 76ers assigned Bona to their G League affiliate Delaware Blue Coats on Friday.

Rejoins NBA club The 76ers recalled Bona from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Back from G League The 76ers recalled Bona from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact The rookie second-round pick out of UCLA will be back with the 76ers for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, but he's not expected to be needed in the rotation with Philadelphia welcoming Joel Embiid (knee/suspension) back for his season debut. Bona has appeared in six of the 76ers' first nine games of the season but has averaged just 2.3 minutes per contest. He made his G League debut for Delaware on Monday and logged 14 points, nine rebounds, four steals, four assists and three blocks in loss to the Maine Celtics.

Assigned to G League Bona has been assigned to the Delaware Blue Coats on Sunday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Due to Andre Drummond posing as the backup to Joel Embiid (knee/suspension), and the emergence of Guerschon Yabusele, Bona has struggled to find playing this season, recording just 14 total minutes across six appearances. With his assignment, Bona will get a chance to get some run in with the Blue Coats, for whom he will be available against Maine on Monday.

Rare appearance in loss Bona chipped in one block in three minutes during Wednesday's 105-95 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Bona cracked the rotation Wednesday, as the 76ers continued their rough start to the season. Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) continue to miss games, leaving Philadelphia very short-handed when it comes to offensive upside. For those wondering, Bona is not a fantasy option, even in deeper formats.

Inks four-year deal with Philadelphia Bona agreed to a four-year, $8 million rookie contract with the 76ers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bona was drafted with the 41st overall pick in the 2024 draft and has secured a rookie contact after a solid start to the Summer League. The UCLA product has averaged 6.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks in 22.7 minutes per game in the Summer League thus far. It will likely be difficult for Bona to crack the rotation with Andre Drummond already serving as backup to Joel Embiid.

Team-high two blocks in win Bona tallied seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes in Monday's 102-92 win over the Thunder in the Utah Summer Leagu...

Impact Bona was effective on the defensive end in the club's opening game of the Summer League, and he was hitting shots at an efficient rate. The No. 41 overall pick racked up two blocks, and he was known as a solid interior defender with UCLA as he averaged 1.8 blocks per game in two seasons. In his final collegiate season, Bona averaged 12.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 33 games.
