• Clippers' Mo Bamba: Iffy for Monday

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Clippers' Mo Bamba: Serves as backup center in debut

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
