Late scratch Sunday Bamba (undisclosed) won't play Sunday against Colorado.
Scores 10 in bench role Bamba racked up 10 points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and four rebounds in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 71-54 win over Utah.
Impact Bamba came off the bench for the first time since Dec. 4 in favor Andrej Jakimovski and efficiently scored 10 points on only three field goal attempts. It's unlikely he'll return to the starting lineup, however, as Jakimovski is enjoying a breakthrough sophomore campaign. Through seven Pac-12 contests, Bamba is averaging 7.6 points on 42 percent shooting.

Held scoreless in defeat Bamba ended with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds over 16 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 58-52 loss to Boise State.
Impact Bamba was unable to manage any points for the second time this season, a surprising result for someone that has reached double figures in five games this season. He fouled out for the first time all season and logged just 16 minutes as a result. Since taking on a starting role Dec. 8, Bamba is averaging 9.2 points on 40 percent shooting over five games.

Impact Bamba notched his first start of the season and was one of five Cougars to log at least 13 points in the contest. Bamba is now averaging 8.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.4 three-pointers per contest.

Back in action Wednesday Bamba (neck) didn't score (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT) but totaled two rebounds and one steal during Wednesday's win over Arizona State.
Impact Bamba was back in action after missing the Cougars' most recent matchup against Eastern Washington on Friday. It was the first time this year though that the guard failed to contribute offensively.

Likely a game-time decision Bamba (neck) is likely to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Arizona State, 247 Sports reports.
Impact Coach Kyle Smith was a bit coy on the status of Noah Williams and Bamba, but it appears Williams should be good to go while Bamba remains more of a question mark. Bamba did not play in the team's game on Saturday against Eastern Washington.

Return status unclear Coach Kyle Smith believes that one of either Bamba (neck) or Noah Williams (neck) might be able to suit up Wednesday against Arizona State, Colton Clark of the Spokesman-Review rep...
Impact This report does little to help fantasy players make any decisions, and is also qualified with "nothing concrete." Clearly there's some gamesmanship in play here as the Cougars begin conference play, and both Bamba and Williams should be considered questionable for Wedensday's showdown with Arizona State.

Did not face EWU on Saturday Mamba didn't play Saturday against EWU due to a neck injury, according to WSU Cougar Notes.
Impact Bamba had come off the bench in the previous five games this season and had scored at least eight points in four of those contests, so seeing him getting ruled out of nowhere was not a pleasant scenario. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to feature next Wednesday at Arizona State.

Scores 11 off bench Bamba had 11 points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one assist and a block across 15 minutes in Tuesday's 85-67 victory over Alcorn State.
Impact Bamba missed the final game of last season for undisclosed reasons, and little was known about his status in the absence of official exhibition games for the Cougars. He did crack the starting lineup a few times down the stretch last season, but he now appears to be serving as a key reserve, scoring the second-most points of any WSU bench players in the opener.

First start of season Bamba is starting Thursday's game against California.
Impact Bamba will draw his first start of the season with Isaac Bonton (ankle) sidelined. Prior to Thursday he'd only handled a rotational role, averaging 11.9 minutes per contest.
