"The now 27-year-old Bamba entered the league as a highly touted prospect out of Texas heading into the 2018 NBA Draft, where scouts were captivated by his tremendous size, standing 7 feet tall and boasting a disruptive 7-foot-10 wingspan. Due to this intrigue, Bamba was selected early in the lottery, going sixth overall to the Orlando Magic. He spent five seasons with the Magic before bouncing around the league as a bit"
"Down there in the G League, Bamba has served in an effective capacity, with averages of 16.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.9 blocks, and 28.7 minutes in 14 games, 11 of them in starting roles. The efficiency hasn't been an issue either, as Bamba's shooting averages with the Salt Lake City Stars look like 53.4 percent from the field and 37.7 percent from deep."
Mo Bamba agreed to a one-year contract with the Toronto Raptors, with the team confirming the signing and declining to disclose financial terms. The 27-year-old was a sixth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft out of Texas, noted for his 7-foot frame and 7-foot-10 wingspan. Bamba averaged 6.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks across 364 NBA games while playing for Orlando, Los Angeles teams, Philadelphia and New Orleans. He joined the Utah Jazz for training camp, was waived before the 2025-26 season, and played for the Salt Lake City Stars. In 14 G League games he averaged 16.5 points, 12.3 rebounds and 2.9 blocks while shooting 53.4% overall and 37.7% from three.
