Bonga posted 27 points (10-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, an assist, two blocks and a steal across 36 minutes in Friday's 119-116 victory against the Westchester Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga did a little bit of everything Friday, and he was second on the team in scoring as his side pulled out a tight win over the Knicks. He is averaging 24 points per game through two G League games this season and shooting a dangerous 68 percent from the field.

Bonga had 21 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes in Thursday's 119-95 victory against the Westchester Knicks. He also recorded two steals in the game.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga played well in his first G League game in about two-and-a-half years, shooting .692 from the field and leading his team in plus/minus (+29). He has featured in three NBA games with very limited minutes for the Raptors this season, but he is a focal point for 905 in the G League.

Bonga is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason matchup against Washington, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

Bonga agreed to a contract with the Raptors on Wednesday, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga wasn't extended a qualifying offer by the Wizards, which made him an unrestricted free agent. Now, he has a chance to latch on with the Raptors. Bonga is a 21-year-old heading into his fourth NBA season. Over the past two seasons, he's averaged 3.8 points and 2.7 rebounds in 15.9 minutes per game. While he struggles to provide much offensively, he's shown some upside as a wing defender.

Bonga won't be extended a qualifying offer by the Wizards, making him an unrestricted free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga is a 21-year-old heading into his fourth NBA season. Over the past two seasons with Washington, he's averaged 3.8 points and 2.7 rebounds in 15.9 minutes per game. While he struggles to provide much offensively, he's shown some upside as a wing defender. That said, he's not expected to have many suitors in free agency. At best, he could find himself in a low-level backup role.

Bonga will start Friday's game against the Thunder, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Deni Avdija (ankle) out for the season, Bonga will get the start at power forward in his first absence. In Bonga's previous seven starts this season, he's averaged 4.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 22.6 minutes.

Bonga (coach's decision) didn't play during Monday's loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
This was Bonga's second straight absence after logging 10 minutes and posting two points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal against the Pistons on Thursday. Bonga has totaled 12 points and 12 rebounds over his past six outings.

Coach Scott Brooks on Saturday specifically mentioned Bonga receiving additional opportunities with Davis Bertans (calf) sidelined, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga hadn't seen any run off the bench in the two games prior to Thursday's clash with the Jazz but logged a season-high 19 minutes in the contest. He responded well with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3PT), four boards, two assists and a steal and it appears more games with extended run may be on the horizon in the next pair of weeks. Bonga's role will presumably subside again once Bertans is cleared to rejoin the action.

Bonga didn't appear in Monday's win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga was a DNP-coach's decision for a fourth time over the past five games. The forward has scored a total of three points since Jan. 29, a span of now 11 games.

Bonga had zero points, three rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes in Friday's 116-100 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Bonga had significant playing time over the past three games while working as a starter for Washington, but he was unable to generate significant production. However, he returned to the bench Friday with Rui Hachimura and Davis Bertans both returning to the court. Coach Scott Brooks said that Deni Avdija and Troy Brown could each return from the health and safety protocols Sunday, so Bonga's role could decrease even more going forward.
