Mo Bamba Signs 10-Day Contract with Pelicans

Mo Bamba has officially signed a 10-day contract with the New Orleans Pelicans after being waived by the Utah Jazz. The 26-year-old center previously played for the LA Clippers and has experienced a tumultuous season with multiple transactions, including a trade to the Jazz and a brief stint with the Pelicans' G League affiliate. Bamba, a former No. 6 overall pick, averaged 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds during his time with the Clippers and has shown flashes of potential, including a career-high 62% shooting on two-pointers this season. The Pelicans are hoping Bamba can provide much-needed height and muscle to their lineup, particularly with star players like Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram drawing defensive attention. His recent performance in the G League, where he averaged 20 points and 13.3 rebounds over three games, bodes well for his integration into the team. Fans are curious to see if this change of scenery will help Bamba find consistency in his game.
