Bona (knee) posted three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes in Saturday's 126-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
Bona had missed four straight games with left knee tendinopathy before he was cleared to return to action for Friday's 108-98 win over the Hornets. He went unused in that contest, but with Joel Embiid (knee) sitting out Saturday in the second leg of the back-to-back set, Bona entered the rotation as a backup option at center. With Embiid scheduled to return to action Monday versus the Spurs, however, Bona will likely find himself back outside of the rotation.

76ers' Adem Bona: Out with knee contusion
Rotowire
Bona won't play in Friday's game against the Magic due to a left knee contusion.
Bona sustained the knee injury at some point during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to the Magic and will be sidelined for the rematch with Orlando. The rookie has been in the rotation the past three games as the 76ers' backup center, but his spot on the second unit could be absorbed Friday by Andre Drummond (ankle), who is listed as questionable after missing the previous two contests.

76ers' Adem Bona: Back from G League
Rotowire
The 76ers recalled Bona from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
The rookie second-round pick out of UCLA will be back with the 76ers for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, but he's not expected to be needed in the rotation with Philadelphia welcoming Joel Embiid (knee/suspension) back for his season debut. Bona has appeared in six of the 76ers' first nine games of the season but has averaged just 2.3 minutes per contest. He made his G League debut for Delaware on Monday and logged 14 points, nine rebounds, four steals, four assists and three blocks in loss to the Maine Celtics.

76ers' Adem Bona: Assigned to G League
Rotowire
The 76ers assigned Bona to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Sunday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Even with Joel Embiid (knee/suspension) having yet to make his season debut, Bona hasn't been able to carve out much playing time with Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele handling most of the minutes at center. The rookie out of UCLA has played just 14 total minutes across his six appearances with Philadelphia, so he'll head to the G League and will presumably be in store for significant playing time Monday in the Blue Coats' matchup with the Maine Celtics.

76ers' Adem Bona: Rare appearance in loss
Rotowire
Bona chipped in one block in three minutes during Wednesday's 105-95 loss to the Pistons.
Bona cracked the rotation Wednesday, as the 76ers continued their rough start to the season. Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) continue to miss games, leaving Philadelphia very shorthanded when it comes to offensive upside. For those wondering, Bona is not a fantasy option, even in deeper formats.
