LAS VEGAS – The last time Mo Bamba played in an NBA game, it was Jan. 31 and the 7-footer had a three-point play in the fourth quarter to knot the score against the Indiana Pacers – a foe the Orlando Magic ultimately defeated to begin their stirring late-season run to the playoffs.
Bamba was a spectator for much of that run to the postseason because of a stress fracture in his left tibia. Mercifully, his time the sidelines will come to an end on Friday night when the Magic begin play in the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League.
