According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Toronto Raptors have signed Mo Bamba to a one-year deal to help give them depth at the center position. This is currently due to Jakob Poeltl dealing with a back injury, and them having to start Scottie Barnes at center.
Despite Sandro Mamukelashvili being the primary backup center, he’s considered to be slightly undersized for his position to be a regular starter. With all that in mind, Toronto wanted to add someone else to provide size and depth.
After signing the 27-year-old, the Raptors will go $2.1 million into the luxury tax.
Bamba appeared in 32 games last season, four with the New Orleans Pelicans and 28 with the Los Angeles Clippers.
