And a new crossover between the Sixers and the Clippers. After Paul George and Nicolas Batum, and a year after the transfer of James Harden, Mo Bamba goes from one franchise to another, from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. The pivot has signed for one year in California according to Adrian Wojnarowskiand will play Ivica Zubac's rotation role after being Joel Embiid's. He comes to replace Mason Plumlee, who left to join the Suns, and returns to Los Angeles, after a brief stint with the Lakers in 2022-2023.
Bamba had notably taken advantage of the Cameroonian's injury in the second half of the season to accumulate 17 starts, his second highest total in six years of career, notably signing his only double-double of the season… against the Clippers. The former 6e The 2018 draft pick will bring his rim protection (1.3 blocks per minute in 17 career minutes per game) as well as his ability to spread the play (39.1% from 3-point range in 2022-23), something that was lacking in Tyronn Lue's big men last season with PJ Tucker largely absent.

The fact remains that Bamba was not given responsibility by Nick Nurse in the playoffs and should keep a relatively limited role in the big games. His one-year contract in any case leaves the Clippers with room to maneuver internally in 2025, since Zubac, Tucker and Kobe Brown (“team option”) will no longer be under contract at this time.
