Bona was recalled from the 76ers' G League affiliate Sunday, Austin Krell of USA Today reports. Bona will rejoin the 76ers ahead of their matchup with the Clippers on Sunday. The rookie has logged double-digit playing time just once this season, during which he posted four points (2-3 FG), nine rebounds and a block across 17 minutes.
The 76ers assigned Bona to their G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats, on Friday. Bona has appeared in 10 NBA games this season, but he's played fewer than five minutes in all but one of those outings. He'll look to get some extended action with the Blue Coats.
The 76ers recalled Bona from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports. With Joel Embiid (illness) doubtful for Monday's game against Miami, Bona will be available to provide emergency depth at center for the 76ers.
The 76ers recalled Bona from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports. 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.
Bona has been assigned to the Delaware Blue Coats on Sunday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. 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.
Bona chipped in one block in three minutes during Wednesday's 105-95 loss to the Pistons. 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.
Bona agreed to a four-year, $8 million rookie contract with the 76ers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. 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.
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 Salt Lake City Summer League. 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.
