The Jazz have re-signed Mo Bamba to another 10-day contract, the team announced in a press release.
Bamba’s first 10-day agreement with Utah expired on Saturday night.
The sixth overall pick in the 2018 draft, Bamba was technically active six times for Utah during his first 10-day pact, but only made two appearances with the Jazz. He averaged 5.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.0 block in 19.0 minutes per contest during road games in Philadelphia and Washington.
Bamba was unable to secure a guaranteed NBA contract ahead of the 2025/26 season and spent training camp with the Jazz before being waived and reporting to the team’s G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars.
The 27-year-old big man has had a big year with the Stars, averaging 17.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks in 27.7 minutes per game across 22 appearances, with an excellent shooting line of .553/.380/.807.
Bamba, an eight-year veteran who spent about a week with Toronto in late December/early January, will earn $177,064 over the course of his 10-day contract, with Utah taking on a cap hit of $131,970.
Bamba will be eligible to appear in four more games for the Jazz during the course of his second 10-day deal, which will expire on March 17. At that point, Utah will have to either sign him for the remainder of the season or let him become a free agent.
