Bamba made his Clippers debut on Sunday, playing 15 minutes off the bench in a win over the Jazz. If he does not play on Monday, Kai Jones should re-enter the rotation as Ivica Zubac's backup. Jones is not worth the risk in fantasy leagues due to inconsistent production.
Bamba made his first appearance of the season on Sunday and was very good in his 15 minutes on the court. The 7-footer finished one point and two rebounds shy of a double-double, with his production being better than what Kai Jones provided when he was allowed to compete for the backup center job. With Ivica Zubac playing excellent basketball, Bamba's fantasy ceiling is low. However, Sunday's performance shows that he's worth tracking.
Bamba has not appeared in a game this season, but that may change soon. While he will not play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets, the 7-footer has been assigned to the Clippers' G League affiliate to continue rehab. Once healthy enough to play, Bamba may bump Kai Jones from the rotation, serving as Ivica Zubac's primary backup.
