Bonga finished with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one steal and one block across 21 minutes in Germany's 86-73 win over Brazil in the Paris Olympics on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga had an extremely efficient outing as Germany outlasted Brazil on Tuesday. The squad survived a rough second quarter, and Germany went on to win by a comfortable margin with the forward stepping up on the offensive end. Despite not being known as a great perimeter shooter, especially during his four-year stint in the NBA, the 24-year-old has now shot a combined 5-for-7 from range through two group-phase games. Bonga has accumulated 26 points and eight boards in the group stage, and he has played at least 20 minutes in both contests.

Bonga (toe) managed seven points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 25 minutes in Thursday's 131-126 victory over the Capital City Go-Go in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga didn't have a good shooting day Thursday -- except he was pretty decent from the free-throw line -- but he rebounded and defended solidly in his side's playoff win over the Go-Go, his first game back after missing some time with a toe injury. On Saturday he will face either Delaware or Motor City in the Conference Final.

Bonga was inactive for Saturday's victory over the Greensboro Swarm due to a toe injury.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga will have a few days to recover after missing the regular season finale on Saturday, as 905 won't enter the playoffs until the Conference Semifinals on Thursday. Bonga is a key piece for his G League team, averaging 13.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks per game this season.

Bonga posted 22 points (9-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 111-103 victory over the Grand Rapids Gold.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga was an efficient scorer, an effective rebounder and a defensive leader against Grand Rapids on Tuesday, and the only blemish on his performance were his struggles from deep. He's making just 28.4 percent of his 4.1 three-pointers per game this season, but he's averaging nearly a double-double per game for 905.

EDGE Analysis
Bonga had some solid shooting and led his team in rebounds against the Herd on Wednesday, but he will need to cut down on his five turnovers in the game. He's averaging 2.2 turnovers per game this season, compared to his 1.1 steals, 3.9 assists and 9.6 rebounds.

EDGE Analysis
Bonga almost had a triple-double Thursday, and he led his team in steals against the Mad Ants. However, he was poor from three-point range, which fits his season profile as he's making just 29.6 percent of his 4.1 shots from deep per game for 905.

Toronto assigned Bonga to the G League's Raptors 905 on Thursday, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga is expected to play for the 905 in games Thursday against the College Park Skyhawks and Saturday against the Lakeland Magic before rejoining the NBA team for its road trip out West. The 22-year-old has played in only four of the Raptors' 33 games since the calendar flipped to 2022, logging 10 minutes in total.

Toronto recalled Bonga from the G League's Raptors 905 on Wednesday, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga hasn't seen action with the NBA team since Jan. 25. Even with OG Anunoby (finger) already ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pistons and Fred VanVleet (knee) and Thaddeus Young (illness) uncertain to play, Bonga isn't a good bet to see the court if the contest is reasonably competitive.
