Mo Bamba News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Waived Thursday The Jazz waived Bamba on Thursday, Kevin Reynolds of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Bamba went down with an illness and wasn't able to travel with the team on their upcoming three-game road trip, so Utah cut him. In two games with the Jazz, Bamba accounted for a total of 10 points, 20 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two turnovers across 38 minutes.

Gets another 10-day with Utah The Jazz signed Bamba to a 10-day contract Sunday.

Impact Bamba will get another crack with the Jazz after his first 10-day contract was set to expire Sunday. He appeared in two games for Utah on March 4 and 5 and averaged 5.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks over 19.0 minutes per game. Bamba gives the Jazz additional frontcourt depth behind Kyle Filipowski and Kevin Love.

Back on open market Bamba became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Jazz expired.

Impact After signing his 10-day deal Feb. 26, Bamba appeared in two of the Jazz's ensuing six contests, averaging 5.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.0 minutes per contest. Utah will have the option of bringing Bamba back on another 10-day pact, though the Jazz could be content to proceed with Kyle Filipowski, Oscar Tshiebwe and Kevin Love as their options at center and instead reserve the open roster spot for a player at a different position.

Sees 21 minutes Bamba ended with four points (2-3 FG), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact This was Bamba's first taste of action since he signed a 10-day contract Feb. 26. He made a strong impression, and with his shot-blocking upside, he's worth monitoring in case he sticks around.

Why Raptors waived Mo Bamba but might sign him to a new 10-day contract | Sporting News Toronto is making some moves.

Cut by Toronto The Raptors waived Bamba on Tuesday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Bamba signed with the Raptors on Dec. 29 to a one-year contract, but the deal was set to become fully guaranteed if he had remained on the roster through Wednesday. Rather than keeping Bamba around at a prorated $1.86 million salary, the Raptors will instead part ways with the veteran center. With Jakob Poetll (back) still facing an uncertain timeline to return to action, the Raptors could still elect to bring Bamba back on a 10-day deal in order to bolster their depth in the frontcourt. Bamba played just six total minutes over two appearances in four games after signing his deal with Toronto.

Impact Bamba appeared in four of the Pelicans' five games over the course of his 10-day deal, averaging 2.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes. New Orleans had the option of re-signing him to a second 10-day deal prior to Friday's 134-93 loss to the Timberwolves, but the organization seemingly intends to go in a different direction with the open roster spot.
