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.

Mo Bamba Latest News
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.
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.
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.
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, 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, 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.
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 upright.
Good to go for Friday
Bamba (knee) is available for Friday's game against Denver, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Bamba sat out of 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.
Logs full practice Tuesday
Coach Tyronn Lue said Bamba (knee) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Bamba didn't play Sunday against the Rockets due to left knee injury management, but he's on track to suit up Friday in Denver. He's logged double-digit minutes in eight of his last 10 appearances, averaging 13.6 minutes per game.
Ruled out Sunday
Bamba (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. 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.
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 sidleined, though Nicolas Batum and Amir Coffey could see additional playing time.
