2024 Fantasy Outlook
Based on pure talent alone, Bamba is one of the best rim protectors in the NBA and a player who can be dominant on the defensive end. However, he doesn't see enough minutes to translate that talent into reliable fantasy production, and his limitations on the offensive end also conspire against his upside. Bamba is still 26 and could reach a new level in his play, but the recent trends don't help him. He played for the 76ers last season and logged a career-low 13.0 minutes per game, but he still provided 4.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per contest across 57 regular-season games. Bamba joined the Clippers on a one-year deal during the offseason and will open the season as Ivica Zubac's backup. However, Bamba won't have any shot at being relevant in fantasy unless Zubac suffers an injury, and even in that scenario, it's hard to imagine the Clippers employing Bamba as their full-time starting center, a role he's had in just one of his six seasons in The Association.

Reaches free agency
Bamba became a free agent after his 10-day contract with the Pelicans expired Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Bamba appeared in four of the Pelicans' five games during his 10-day deal, averaging 2.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes. New Orleans had the option of re-signing him to a second 10-day deal prior to Friday's 134-93 loss to the Timberwolves, but the organization seemingly intends to take a different approach with the open roster spot.

After finally putting things together during the 2021-22 season, Bamba regressed last year, falling back outside the top 200 in standard formats. He split time between the Magic and the Lakers, neither team playing him significant minutes. He ended as the 238th-ranked player, averaging 6.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in just 15.7 minutes per game. Following his short stint in Los Angeles, Bamba was picked up by the 76ers during the offseason. He will likely battle for backup minutes with Paul Reed, someone who has already proven to be a viable rotational center in the NBA. Despite Bamba's strong per-minute upside, he is not someone typically associated with winning basketball. It's hard to see him being anything more than a depth piece, called upon sporadically throughout the season. Starting center Joel Embiid is no stranger to injury, meaning Bamba could at least have some limited appeal should a small window open up at any point.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Backup role is his to lose
Bamba is dealing with a knee injury that has prevented him from playing in the preseason, but if he recovers in time for the start of the 2024-25 regular season, then he'll be the backup center behind Ivica Zubac, according to Law Murray of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
If Bamba is not ready for Opening Night, then Kai Jones will serve as the team's backup center in his absence. Bamba averaged 4.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 13.0 minutes per game with Philadelphia last season across 57 regular-season appearances, including 17 starts.
