Swats four shots sans Embiid
Bamba finished with six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and four blocks over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 124-114 loss to the Pelicans.
The Scoop: Bamba hasn't had much of an opportunity to play this season, as he entered Wednesday with eight DNPs over the 76ers' past 11 games. However, Joel Embiid was a late scratch against New Orleans due to an illness, leading to Bamba playing a campaign-high 14 minutes. He fared well as a scorer and rebounder while he was on the court, but where he really shined was as a rim protector, racking up four blocked shots. When Embiid plays, Bamba is likely going to have a hard time getting substantial minutes, but there's a chance he could begin getting more run as a result of his impressive performance Wednesday.
