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.

Bamba was joined by Kawhi Leonard (knee) and rookie Trentyn Flowers (wrist) as those being held out of team scrimmages Wednesday.

Clippers' Mo Bamba: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that Bamba will be out of 5-on-5 practice due to a knee injury, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
It's unclear when Bamba suffered his knee injury, but it will keep him limited in practice for the start of training camp. The 26-year-old's first chance to suit up for the Clippers will come during Saturday's preseason opener against Golden State.
Bamba agreed to a one-year deal with the Clippers on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Bamba will join the Clippers and provide extra depth behind Ivica Zubac. The 26-year-old played for the 76ers last season, during which he averaged 4.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across a career-low 13.0 minutes in 57 regular-season games. However, Bamba did shoot a career-high 39.1 percent from deep in a limited number of attempts at 1.1 per game.
