Overview
- Toronto officially waived center Mo Bamba on Jan. 6, cutting him before his non-guaranteed deal would have triggered a full-season guarantee.
- The move carries an estimated $194,771 cap charge for Bamba’s 11 days of service, according to league cap reporting.
- Reporters note Toronto could bring Bamba back on a standard 10-day contract once he clears waivers, now that 10-day deals are permitted.
- Bamba logged under six minutes across two appearances for the Raptors, recording two rebounds and one block without scoring.
- Starting center Jakob Poeltl has been cleared for contact and is reconditioning, reducing the need for a longer commitment as roster decisions build toward the Feb. 5 trade deadline.
