Looks good in start Bamba amassed eight points (2-3 FG, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes during Sunday's 120-116 victory over Dallas.

Impact Bamba showed off good chemistry with Kyle Lowry around the basket, as well as with Tyrese Maxey in pick-and-roll Sunday. Bamba has now started two consecutive games while Paul Reed comes off the bench, but coach Nick Nurse is deploying the bigs on a lineup-specific basis depending on opponent scheme.

Gets start at center Bamba will start Friday's game against the Hornets, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact With Kelly Oubre (shoulder) and KJ Martin (ankle) joining De'Anthony Melton (back), Robert Covington (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) on the sidelines, Bamba and Kyle Lowry will enter the starting lineup. They'll be flanked by Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris and Buddy Hield, sending Paul Reed to a bench role. Bamba has yet to start a contest this season, but when he plays at least 18 minutes (eight times), he's averaged 8.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 19.6 minutes per game.

76ers' Mo Bamba Downgraded vs. Cavaliers Mo Bamba has been downgraded for Monday night’s action.

Will play Monday Bamba (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Bamba missed Saturday's game against the Wizards due to right knee soreness, but he'll be back in action following a minimal absence. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 3.4 points and 6.0 rebounds in 15.4 minutes per game.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Bamba (knee) is questionable to play Monday versus Cleveland.

Impact Bamba is at risk of missing a second consecutive game due to right knee soreness. Bamba's right knee injury dates back to the diagnosis of a fat pad impingement on Jan. 14. While he has missed a total of nine games due to right knee issues in the time since, he has suited up for six of Philadelphia's past eight contests, averaging 3.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 16.0 minutes per game.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Bamba will not play in Saturday's matchup with with the Wizards due to right knee soreness, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact Bamba presumably picked up the injury in Friday's loss to the Hawks. It is not surprising to see the 76ers err on the side of caution with the big man's knee on the second night of a back-to-back set. In his absence, Kenneth Lofton will likely see the backup center minutes behind Paul Reed.

FEBRUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Blocks three shots in loss Bamba accumulated three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 16 minutes during Friday's 127-121 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Bamba blocked at least three shots for the fifth time in the past eight games, continuing to serve as the primary backup behind Paul Reed. Although it appears as though he will have a consistent role moving forward, Bamba offers very little upside outside of blocks, making him a viable streaming option in category leagues only.

FEBRUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Team-high 10 rebounds Monday Bamba chipped in five points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Monday's 118-102 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Bamba formed a platoon with Paul Reed (22 minutes) to anchor the majority of center minutes for Philadelphia without Joel Embiid (knee surgery). Bamba offers more agility than Reed around the basket and can be a shooter in pick-and-roll, so he is likely to retain a similar minute share moving forward.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fills rotational role in return Bamba (knee) scored four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and added five rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes Monday in the 76ers' 130-104 loss to the Trail Blaze...

Impact Paul Reed drew a second consecutive start at center Monday while Joel Embiid (knee) was sidelined once again, but the latter's absence allowed Bamba to take hold of a rotation spot in his return from a seven-game absence due to right knee inflammation. The 76ers are continuing to evaluate Embiid on a day-by-day basis, and if the reigning league MVP is cleared to play Tuesday at Golden State, Bamba could find himself on the outside looking in for a rotation spot.

JANUARY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Performs individual work Head coach Nick Nurse said Bamba (knee) was able to take part in individual work during Wednesday's practice, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact While Bamba's ability to perform some on-court activity is a step in the right direction, the 76ers aren't likely to clear him to play until he's a full participant in practice. The 76ers haven't made an official ruling on Bamba's status for Thursday's game in Indiana, but the veteran center would seem to be on track to miss a sixth straight game due to right knee inflammation.

JANUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Bamba (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Bamba will miss a fifth straight game, but his initial questionable designation is a sign of progress. When cleared to return, he should resume a backup role behind Joel Embiid. Bamba's next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Indiana.

JANUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Monday Bamba (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Will not play Monday Bamba (knee) will not play in Monday's game against Houston.

Impact Bamba was previously considered doubtful for this contest. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready in time for Tuesday's game against Denver. Bamba probably wasn't going to see many minutes Monday anyways with Joel Embiid (knee) returning.

JANUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful to play Monday Bamba is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Houston due to an impingement in his right knee, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Bamba is dealing with a right fat pad impingement, in which a section of fatty tissue located behind his kneecap tendon is being pinched and inflamed. Joel Embiid (knee) is on track to return Monday, but Paul Reed would face a huge workload if both Embiid and Bamba are unable to suit up.
