Bona ended Tuesday's 116-110 loss to the Suns with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks over 26 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Joel Embiid was given the night off for rest during the second leg of this back-to-back set. Andre Drummond drew the start and pulled down 15 rebounds in 22 minutes, but Bona also put together a solid display for the 76ers. Looking ahead, the next back-to-back set for Philadelphia begins Jan. 26.

Bona (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 103-91 win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
After averaging 17.8 minutes per game while appearing in each of the previous 10 contests, Bona looked to have moved ahead of Andre Drummond on the depth chart at center. However, head coach Nick Nurse ended up reversing course Friday, turning to Drummond as the sole backup option to starter Joel Embiid while Bona didn't get off the bench. Nurse has shown a willingness to occasionally use Bona alongside Embiid at times, but with Trendon Watford and Kelly Oubre recently returning from injuries, the 76ers could be less inclined to deploy Bona at power forward in future contests.

Bona supplied four points (4-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 139-136 overtime victory over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Bona played 26 minutes as the backup center behind Joel Embiid, with Andre Drummond moving out of the rotation. Bona has now played at least 26 minutes in two straight games, even sharing the floor with Embiid during Tuesday's win. While this doesn't make him a must-roster player, it does put him in the streaming discussion, if and when Embiid misses time.

Bona accumulated 11 points (3-4 FG, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 28 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 129-104 loss to Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
The 28 minutes were a season high for Bona, who has been getting extra run of late while Joel Embiid deals with nagging lower-body injuries, including a sprained ankle that kept him in street clothes Sunday. The second-year center has played at least 15 minutes in four of the last five games, recording double-digit points with eight boards twice and racking up a total of eight blocks, but his role and production are too inconsistent to make him anything more than a DFS punt play in most fantasy formats.

The 76ers recalled Bona from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bona joined the Blue Coats for Tuesday's 120-110 win over the Capital City Go-Go, during which he posted 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 32 minutes. The 22-year-old big man has been left out of the rotation in each of the parent club's last three games and is not guaranteed to see the floor when both Joel Embiid (knee) and Andre Drummond are healthy.

Philadelphia assigned Bona to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Joel Embiid looking healthier and Andre Drummond comfortably ahead of Bona on the depth chart, this move makes sense for the 76ers with the team looking to maximize his reps.

Bona finished with four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one block over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 121-102 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Bona offered very little yet again, basically summing up his season to this point. While there had been some hope he would step into a sizable role following a knee injury to Andre Drummond, those hopes were dashed when Drummond returned to the lineup almost immediately. Even with Joel Embiid (knee) missing time, Bona should be treated as a blocks specialist and nothing more.

Bona finished with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds and four blocks across 23 minutes during Friday's 115-103 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Bona started the second half of Friday's game with Andre Drummond exiting with a knee injury, and he fell just one block shy of matching his career-high. Drummond may be looking at an extended absence, and it's unclear when Joel Embiid (knee) will be able to return, so Bona is worth a speculative add in deep leagues for his shot-blocking upside.

Bona (ankle) will play Friday against the Nets, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bona is back after a five-game absence, so he'll likely have his minutes monitored Friday night. Bona will battle Dominick Barlow for the reserve minutes behind Andre Drummond, so Bona can't be viewed as anything more than a shot-blocking specialist in deep fantasy leagues.

Bona (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Bona has been working his way back from a right ankle sprain. Still, the probable tag suggests he has a good chance of suiting up for Philly for the first time since Nov. 14. Bona will compete for minutes at the center position once he's available. However, his playing time will be determined by the availability of Joel Embiid (knee) and Andre Drummond.
