Raptors Waive Mo Bamba Ahead of Guarantee Date

The move preserves cap flexibility ahead of the league’s guarantee date.

Overview

  • Waiving the 27-year-old came just over a week after his non‑guaranteed signing to cover short-term center depth.
  • Toronto will carry a reported $194,771 cap charge for 11 days of service, covering nine days on the roster plus two on waivers.
  • Bamba saw minimal action with the Raptors, logging four minutes against Orlando and 93 seconds in garbage time versus Atlanta.
  • His call-up followed strong G League form with the Salt Lake City Stars, where he averaged 16.5 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks.
  • With standard 10-day contracts now permitted, the Raptors could consider bringing him back if he clears waivers, as Jakob Poeltl continues contact work in his return progression.
