Headed to Lakers The Lakers acquired Bamba (suspension) from the Magic on Thursday in exchange for Patrick Beverley, a second-round pick and cash, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Bamba averaged 7.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 blocks in 17.0 minutes across 40 games for the Magic this season. With the move to Los Angeles, he'll likely slot in as the primary backup to starting center Anthony Davis, though he may have to fend off Wenyen Gabriel and Jarred Vanderbilt for those duties. Prior to the trade, Bamba served the first two games of the four-game suspension he received for his on-court altercation with the Timberwolves' Austin Rivers on Feb. 3. He'll thus sit out the Lakers' games Thursday against Milwaukee and Saturday at Golden State before he's eligible to debut with his new team Feb. 13 in Portland.

Bamba, Rivers, Suggs all suspended after Magic-Wolves dustup

The NBA has suspended Orlando’s Mo Bamba for four games and Minnesota’s Austin Rivers for three games for their roles in an on-court altercation on Friday night

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • Associated Press

Hit with four-game ban The NBA announced Saturday that Bamba has received a four-game suspension without pay for his role in an on-court altercation that occurred in Friday's 127-120 win over the Timberw...

Impact After being left out of head coach Jamahl Mosley's rotation in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers, Bamba entered the starting five Friday while top center Wendell Carter (foot) was sidelined. Bamba put up 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 21 minutes before he was ejected late in the third quarter, when he came off the bench and threw punches at Minnesota's Austin Rivers. Rivers also returned with punches and drew a three-game suspension for his actions, while Magic teammate Jalen Suggs was handed a one-game ban for "escalating the altercation," according to the NBA's statement. Provided Carter's injury isn't a long-term concern, Bamba might have find himself right back outside of the rotation Sunday in Charlotte, so his upcoming four-game absence may not affect how Mosley divvies up the minutes among his frontcourt options. Bamba will be eligible to return to action Feb. 13 in Chicago.

Re-enters rotation Monday Bamba notched two points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two blocks across 10 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to the Kings.

Impact Bamba was back in the rotation Monday, albeit in garbage time. The return of Wendell Carter from injury has sealed Bamba's fate, as he's been a mere afterthought for the past three games. There is no reason for him to be rostered outside of the deepest leagues, with his only path to minutes being via injuries to other players.
