Bamba (knee) continues battling soreness, but the Clippers are optimistic he can be available for the first week of the regular season, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Optimism for Bamba's Opening Night status could be dwindling slightly. He dealt with a fat pad impingement in his right knee last season, where a section of fatty tissue located behind his kneecap tendon gets pinched and inflamed, but it's unclear if his current soreness is related to the same issues.
