Bamba is starting Monday's game against the Bulls, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bamba will get a look as the starting center after news broke earlier in the day that Ivica Zubac (eye) would be held out Monday. Bamba has been held to single-digit minutes in two of his last four appearances but should be in line for a longer look versus Chicago.

Bamba ended with 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 16 minutes during Thursday's 116-98 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Bamba posted a season-high 12 points while hitting a couple of three-pointers during an efficient outing. The 26-year-old also tied his season-best mark in rebounds. The big man has seen little playing time of late, as he has to compete with Nicolas Batum and Kai Jones for minutes behind Ivica Zubac. Over his last five outings, Bamba has averaged 3.2 points and 3.2 rebounds across 9.8 minutes per game.

Bamba finished with two rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Friday's 102-92 win over the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Bamba continues to put together the worst season of his career, averaging 3.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 12.8 minutes per game. Playing behind one of the most consistent centers in the league, Bamba's opportunities have been few and far between. Should a meaningful role ever present itself, Bamba would then become a factor, at least on the defensive end of the floor.

Bamba contributed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and three blocks in six minutes during Monday's 114-110 victory over Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Ivica Zubac was considered questionable to play with a calf issue but ended up producing a monster performance in 40 minutes. Bamba has shot-blocking upside, obviously, but the minutes just won't be there when Zubac is healthy.

Bamba (knee) is available for Friday's game against Denver, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bamba sat out Sunday's loss to the Rockets due to left knee injury management, though he'll suit up Friday after nearly a week of rest. The big man has averaged 3.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks across 13.2 minutes per contest over his last five outings.

Coach Tyronn Lue said Bamba (knee) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bamba didn't play Sunday against the Rockets due to left knee injury management, but he's on track to suit up Friday in Denver. He's logged double-digit minutes in eight of his last 10 appearances, averaging 13.6 minutes per game.

Bamba (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bamba will miss Sunday's matchup due to left knee injury management. The big man was held out of the club's first 13 games of the season, though before Sunday he had missed only one outing since. With Bamba sidelined, Kai Jones will likely see an uptick in playing time.

Bamba (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bamba has played in 10 of the Clippers' last 11 games, though he's still not 100 percent healthy from a left knee injury that had him sidelined for the first 13 games of the 2024-25 regular season. Ivica Zubac would be the Clippers' only healthy center Sunday if Bamba is sidleined, though Nicolas Batum and Amir Coffey could see additional playing time.

Bamba finished Tuesday's 127-105 victory over Portland with three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, three blocks and two steals in 17 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Bamba has been limited to workloads with minutes in the teens as Ivica Zubac's backup, but the former has made the most of them. He's been a terrific shot-blocking specialist in deeper formats, averaging 2.2 blocks in 15.3 minutes over his past five outings.

Bamba (knee) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bamba sat out Monday's loss to Boston -- the second half of a back-to-back -- due to left knee injury recovery. Following some rest, he's good to go Wednesday. He's seen double-digit minutes in each of his past three appearances, averaging 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks.
