Ibaka signed a one-year deal with Bayern Munich of the EuroLeague, Marc Mundet reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being waived by the Pacers in February, Ibaka failed to find a home in the NBA throughout the offseason and will instead spend the 2023-24 campaign in Europe with Bayern Munich. The 14-year NBA veteran appeared in 16 games with Milwaukee last season, averaging 4.1 points and 2.8 rebounds across 11.6 minutes.

Ibaka will be waived by the Pacers on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ibaka was traded from Milwaukee to Indiana on Thursday, but the Pacers' decision to part ways with him isn't shocking, given their frontcourt talent. After being cut out of the Bucks' rotation in recent weeks, Ibaka will have a chance to sign elsewhere to close out the 2022-23 campaign.

The Pacers acquired Ibaka, Jordan Nwora, George Hill and two second-round picks from the Bucks on Thursday as part of a three-team deal that sent Jae Crowder to the Bucks and five second-round picks to the Nets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ibaka had been out of the rotation in Milwaukee before he and the Bucks came to an agreement a few weeks ago for him to remain away from the team while the front office explored trade options. The 33-year-old found a new home just before Thursday's trade deadline, but the move to Indiana won't guarantee him steady minutes. Myles Turner recently signed a two-year extension with the Pacers and is entrenched as the team's starting center, so Ibaka will have to vie with the likes of Daniel Theis and Isaiah Jackson for backup minutes.

Ibaka (personal) and the Bucks mutually agreed Friday to begin pursuing trade opportunities, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ibaka left the team just under two weeks ago for what the Bucks have termed as a personal matter, and based on Charania's report, the veteran center appears poised to remain away from Milwaukee until the organization is able to find a new home for him. The 33-year-old has largely been on the outside of head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation all season, appearing in just 16 games and averaging 4.1 points and 2.8 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per contest. Even though he's signed to a cost-effective one-year, $2.91 million deal, Ibaka may not command much interest on the trade market and could be waived if the Bucks aren't able to find a taker prior to the Feb. 9 deadline for deals.

Ibaka (personal reasons) will miss Milwaukee's upcoming four-game road trip, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After not appearing in each of the Bucks' previous three contests, Ibaka will officially be sidelined for the team's next four showings due to a personal matter. The 33-year-old's next chance to return comes Dec. 16 against the Pacers.

Ibaka won't be available for Monday's game against the Knicks due to a personal matter.
EDGE Analysis
With just two appearances in the Bucks' last 23 games, Ibaka's absence Monday shouldn't affect head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation.

Ibaka contributed four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and two steals across 16 minutes during Sunday's 118-95 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Ibaka saw actual playing time for just the second time in the past six weeks, logging 16 minutes in a losing effort. The Bucks were without a host of key pieces, affording Ibaka a rare opportunity to contribute. Based on what we have seen, or haven't seen, from Ibaka this season, he can be safely ignored across all fantasy formats.

Ibaka (illness) is probable to play in Saturday's matchup with the Jazz, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ibaka hasn't played since Nov. 21 due to a non-COVID illness. However, he may not have a significant role Saturday, as he played just four and seven minutes in his last two appearances.

Ibaka will miss Thursday's game versus the Grizzlies due to a non-COVID illness.
EDGE Analysis
An illness has been traveling around the Bucks' locker room recently, keeping Jrue Holiday out in addition to Ibaka on Thursday. Ibaka hasn't been part of the rotation recently anyway, so his absence shouldn't have an impact from a fantasy standpoint.
