Mo Bamba (foot) unlikely to play for Magic this weekend
Orlando Magic power forward Mo Bamba (sore left foot) is unlikely to play this weekend, head coach Steve Clifford said.
Bamba's foot has no structural damage, an MRI revealed, but it remains sore and will likely prevent him from playing this weekend. The Magic play a back-to-back set on Saturday and Sunday, meaning Bamba will likely miss a second and third straight game. That should continue to translate into more minutes for Khem Birch off the bench.
Bamba is averaging 17.8 FanDuel points through 39 NBA games, with 6.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per contest.
