Adem Bona News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Enters rotation Saturday Bona (knee) posted three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes in Saturday's 126-99 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Bona had missed four straight games with left knee tendinopathy before he was cleared to return to action for Friday's 108-98 win over the Hornets. He went unused in that contest, but with Joel Embiid (knee) sitting out Saturday in the second leg of the back-to-back set, Bona entered the rotation as a backup option at center. With Embiid scheduled to return to action Monday versus the Spurs, however, Bona will likely find himself back outside of the rotation.

Remains day-to-day Bona (knee), who has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers, has begun on-court work and remains day-to-day ahead of Monday's matchup against the Hornets, Kyle Neubeck...

Impact Bona is slated to miss a third consecutive outing due to a left knee injury, though he appears to be on track for a potential return to game action Monday. The rookie big man's absence shouldn't affect any fantasy decisions, as he has averaged only 6.4 minutes per game over 14 regular-season appearances.

Not playing Sunday Bona (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Bona will miss a second straight game, though he wasn't expected to see minutes even if deemed available. He's down in the pecking order at backup center behind Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele. Bona's next chance to play will come against the Pacers on Friday, Dec. 13.

Ruled out Friday Bona (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Magic.

Impact Bona sustained a left knee contusion during the second half of Wednesday's game and did not return. He will also miss Friday's contest, which is unfortunate for the 76ers as they will also be without Joel Embiid (knee) and potentially Andre Drummond (ankle). Guerschon Yabusele will likely see heavy minutes as the team's primary big man.

Recalled to NBA on Sunday Bona was recalled from the 76ers' G League affiliate Sunday, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact Bona will rejoin the 76ers ahead of their matchup with the Clippers on Sunday. The rookie has logged double-digit playing time just once this season, during which he posted four points (2-3 FG), nine rebounds and a block across 17 minutes.

Moved back to G League The 76ers assigned Bona to their G League affiliate Delaware Blue Coats on Friday.

Impact Bona has appeared in 10 NBA games this season, but he's played fewer than five minutes in all but one of those outings. He'll look to get some extended action with the Blue Coats.

Rejoins NBA club The 76ers recalled Bona from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact With Joel Embiid (illness) doubtful for Monday's game against Miami, Bona will be available to provide emergency depth at center for the 76ers.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back from G League The 76ers recalled Bona from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact The rookie second-round pick out of UCLA will be back with the 76ers for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, but he's not expected to be needed in the rotation with Philadelphia welcoming Joel Embiid (knee/suspension) back for his season debut. Bona has appeared in six of the 76ers' first nine games of the season but has averaged just 2.3 minutes per contest. He made his G League debut for Delaware on Monday and logged 14 points, nine rebounds, four steals, four assists and three blocks in loss to the Maine Celtics.

NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League Bona has been assigned to the Delaware Blue Coats on Sunday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Due to Andre Drummond posing as the backup to Joel Embiid (knee/suspension), and the emergence of Guerschon Yabusele, Bona has struggled to find playing this season, recording just 14 total minutes across six appearances. With his assignment, Bona will get a chance to get some run in with the Blue Coats, for whom he will be available against Maine on Monday.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance in loss Bona chipped in one block in three minutes during Wednesday's 105-95 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Bona cracked the rotation Wednesday, as the 76ers continued their rough start to the season. Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) continue to miss games, leaving Philadelphia very short-handed when it comes to offensive upside. For those wondering, Bona is not a fantasy option, even in deeper formats.

OCTOBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inks four-year deal with Philadelphia Bona agreed to a four-year, $8 million rookie contract with the 76ers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bona was drafted with the 41st overall pick in the 2024 draft and has secured a rookie contact after a solid start to the Summer League. The UCLA product has averaged 6.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks in 22.7 minutes per game in the Summer League thus far. It will likely be difficult for Bona to crack the rotation with Andre Drummond already serving as backup to Joel Embiid.

Team-high two blocks in win Bona tallied seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes in Monday's 102-92 win over the Thunder in the Utah Summer Leagu...

Impact Bona was effective on the defensive end in the club's opening game of the Summer League, and he was hitting shots at an efficient rate. The No. 41 overall pick racked up two blocks, and he was known as a solid interior defender with UCLA as he averaged 1.8 blocks per game in two seasons. In his final collegiate season, Bona averaged 12.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 33 games.
