Utah Jazz give Mo Bamba another 10-day contract
SLUG: utah-jazz-mo-bamba-second-10-day-deal
The Utah Jazz have signed center Mo Bamba to a second 10-day deal, league sources told HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto.
Bamba’s initial agreement began on Feb. 26. Over four appearances with Utah, the 2018 No. 6 overall pick has averaged 2.5 points and 5.3 rebounds.
The 25-year-old spent training camp with the Jazz before joining the G League’s Salt Lake City Stars, where he posted 17.0 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game while shooting efficiently.
Utah’s frontcourt depth has been strained by injuries to Walker Kessler, Jusuf Nurkic and Jaren Jackson Jr., prompting the club to retain Bamba for at least another 10 days.
