Lakers' Mo Bamba: Secures six rebounds in return
Bamba amassed four points (2-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, three blocks and one assist across 16 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 120-102 victory over the Pelicans.
Bamba returned from a four-game suspension to make his Lakers debut Wednesday. He slotted in as the top backup to starting center Anthony Davis and wasn't particularly efficient during his time on the court, but he still tied for the second-highest rebound total on the team while also pacing the Lakers in blocks. Since he had been behind Wendell Carter and Moritz Wagner on the depth chart at center in Orlando, Bamba's rest-of-season outlook has improved with the move to the Lakers, but he'll still profile as little more than a deep-league option so long as Davis is available.
