Mo Bamba: Let go by Utah
The Jazz waived Bamba on Sunday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
One day after acquiring Bamba from the Clippers, the Jazz will part ways with the big man to open up a roster spot for guard Jalen Hood-Schifino, whom the club acquired from the Lakers on Sunday. Bamba will likely be a candidate to join a club lacking frontcourt depth, though he may have to wait for the dust to settle after Thursday's trade deadline before finding a home. In 28 appearances with the Clippers this season, Bamba averaged 4.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 12.6 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Mo Bamba: Shipped to Utah
The Jazz acquired Bamba, P.J. Tucker, a 2030 second-round pick and cash from the Clippers on Saturday in exchange for Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After missing most of the first month of the season while recovering from a knee issue, Bamba debuted Nov. 17 for the Clippers and had regularly been serving as the top backup to starting center Ivica Zubac. However, the 26-year-old recently fell out of favor, appearing in just one of the team's last three games before the Clippers shipped him out and brought back Eubanks, who should settle in as LA's new backup center. Eubanks had been filling a regular spot in Utah's rotation, but Bamba may not be guaranteed regular playing time with the Jazz while both Walker Kessler and Kyle Filipowski are healthy and likely to be prioritized ahead of Bamba, who is on an expiring contract. If Bamba does find himself getting meaningful playing time at any point, he could be an appealing fantasy option; he turned in strong per-minute averages of 4.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 12.6 minutes over his 28 appearances with the Clippers.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Not starting vs. Wizards
Bamba is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Bamba started in the Clippers' last two games, but he'll return to his regular second-unit role here since Ivica Zubac (eye) is back in action. Bamba has played off the bench in 24 of his 26 appearances this season, averaging 4.2 points and 4.3 rebounds across 12.5 minutes per game in those instances.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Serviceable results in spot start
Bamba amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and seven rebounds across 15 minutes during Monday's 112-99 loss to the Bulls.
Making a spot start at the five for the Clippers on Monday, Bamba was serviceable during his 15 minutes of action in what was his first appearance with the first unit this year. The veteran big man did lose considerable center minutes to Nicolas Batum and Kobe Brown from Los Angeles' second unit, though. If Ivica Zubac is able to return from an eye injury in time for Wednesday's showdown with the Celtics, Bamba would certainly be slated to revert back to the bench.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Drawing first start of season
Bamba is starting Monday's game against the Bulls, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Bamba will get a look as the starting center after news broke earlier in the day that Ivica Zubac (eye) would be held out Monday. Bamba has been held to single-digit minutes in two of his last four appearances but should be in line for a longer look versus Chicago.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Notches efficient 12 points in loss
Bamba ended with 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 16 minutes during Thursday's 116-98 loss to the Thunder.
Bamba posted a season-high 12 points while hitting a couple of three-pointers during an efficient outing. The 26-year-old also tied his season-best mark in rebounds. The big man has seen little playing time of late, as he has to compete with Nicolas Batum and Kai Jones for minutes behind Ivica Zubac. Over his last five outings, Bamba has averaged 3.2 points and 3.2 rebounds across 9.8 minutes per game.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Fails to score in win
Bamba finished with two rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Friday's 102-92 win over the Warriors.
Bamba continues to put together the worst season of his career, as he is averaging 3.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 12.8 minutes per game. Playing behind one of the most consistent centers in the league (Ivica Zubac), Bamba's opportunities have been few and far between. Should a meaningful role ever present itself, Bamba would then become a factor, at least on the defensive end of the floor.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Held without a point
Bamba contributed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and three blocks in six minutes during Monday's 114-110 victory over Memphis.
Ivica Zubac was considered questionable to play with a calf issue but ended up producing a monster performance in 40 minutes. Bamba has shot-blocking upside, obviously, but the minutes just won't be there when Zubac is healthy.

Bamba (knee) is available for Friday's game against Denver, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Bamba sat out Sunday's loss to the Rockets due to left knee injury management, though he'll suit up Friday after nearly a week of rest. The big man has averaged 3.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks across 13.2 minutes per contest over his last five outings.

Bamba will miss Sunday's matchup due to left knee injury management. The big man was held out of the club's first 13 games of the season, though before Sunday he had missed only one outing since. With Bamba sidelined, Kai Jones will likely see an uptick in playing time.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Iffy to play Sunday vs. Houston
Bamba (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Bamba has played in 10 of the Clippers' last 11 games, though he's still not 100 percent healthy from a left knee injury that had him sidelined for the first 13 games of the 2024-25 regular season. Ivica Zubac would be the Clippers' only healthy center Sunday if Bamba is sidelined, though Nicolas Batum and Amir Coffey could see additional playing time.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Swats three shots
Bamba finished Tuesday's 127-105 victory over Portland with three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, three blocks and two steals in 17 minutes.
Bamba has been limited to workloads with minutes in the teens as Ivica Zubac's backup, but the former has made the most of them. He's been a terrific shot-blocking specialist in deeper formats, averaging 2.2 blocks in 15.3 minutes over his past five outings.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Cleared to play Wednesday
Bamba (knee) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Bamba (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Bamba is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a left knee injury. If Bamba is ruled out against Washington, Kai Jones will likely serve as the team's backup center to Ivica Zubac.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Ruled out Monday
Bamba will not play Monday against the Celtics due to left knee injury recovery, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Bamba will miss the second leg of the Clippers' back-to-back set. Nicolas Batum could end up seeing more run as a small-ball center Monday behind starter Ivica Zubac while Bamba rests.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Good to go Monday
Bamba (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Warriors, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Bamba will suit up for the second game of a back-to-back set, and he has now played in two straight outings after missing the beginning of the season with a left knee injury. The big man will serve as Ivica Zubac's primary backup, though he played only 15 minutes in his return during Sunday's win over Utah.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Serves as backup center in debut
Bamba (knee) scored nine points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and added eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 116-105 win over the Jazz.
Making his season debut after missing the Clippers' first 13 games while recovering from a left knee injury that dated back to the start of training camp, Bamba immediately settled in as the backup center behind Ivica Zubac. The Clippers had been cycling through several players as Zubac's primary backup, but the return of Bamba should bring some stability to the second unit. According to Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com, Bamba said before Sunday's contest that he doesn't anticipate being held out for one-half of back-to-back sets this season, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Clippers opted to take a cautious approach by resting him for Monday's contest versus the Warriors. If Bamba isn't available Monday, the Clippers could turn to Kobe Brown, Kai Jones and/or Nicolas Batum to handle the backup center role.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Iffy for Monday
Bamba is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors due to left knee recovery, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Bamba made his season debut Sunday, playing 15 minutes off the bench during a win over the Jazz. The big man said before Sunday's game that he doesn't anticipate having to miss time during back-to-back sets moving forward, but it's not surprising to see the Clippers exercise caution. If Bamba is ruled out, Kai Jones and Nicolas Batum would be candidates for increased roles.

He managed to play in Thursday's game against the Valley Suns and finished with 13 points, 12 rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes. Bamba will serve as the Clippers' backup center Sunday behind starter Ivica Zubac, though the former will likely operate on a minutes restriction.
