Bamba went through two-on-two work today, per Dan Savage of OrlandoMagic.com. Means he's not yet playing 5-on-5.

Yea if he doesnt play tonight hes still must not be close to ready. At least we will knowMagicFan101 wrote:You guys keep saying Bamba is “healthy” but being cleared by doctors is different than being “game ready.”
If the docs have cleared him and the coaches / training staff are comfortable with him and his playing time is simply cut due to performance then this right here is shaping up to be the Garbage Time game for him to get a lot of second half minutes.
Right??
... if not then his health has to be more serious that people are letting on.

I'm here for people to explain Cliff still having a job.

We don’t have a good coach. I will keep saying it until people stop arguing it. A good coach would call timeouts and bench people for their poor play. Clifford does practically nothing during the games. His rotations are set to the minute and in-game adjustments rarely occur.

You can say that about every first half route and I don’t think I’ve ever seen Cliff do a full sub out of the starters for abysmal play.

This is what I’m talking about in the Cole thread.
Throw away stats or results. I don’t care right now.
His attitude is refreshing and I hope it is infectious. Most of all I love his never ending confidence and short term memory when it comes to mistakes. He never seems to get down on himself. He can launch an air ball and it doesn’t rattle him. He still has his head up high.
I hope he and Fultz spend a lot of time together.

Read this earlier. I wish the organization would be transparent for the fans but I guess you don’t want to hurt Bamba’s value if they were to trade him. Just hope he can come back strong

I’m interested in what lineups people want to see instead.

More than likely, the team’s ‘woe is me’ culture will run off on Cole unfortunately.

Anthony has much more confidence in himself than Fultz does. At least that's how it appears.
Cole just might not be all that talented

It doesn’t matter what the lineup is. The game was over 4 or 5 minutes in.

Bamba had COVID back in June, this is 2021 (in Europe) and he's still not playing. Either he's particular kind of snowflake with all missed time due to injury or illness - or there's something else going on, too.

I’ve watched quite a few games when Fultz was in Philly. He sulks...a lot. The defense is absolute garbage when he’s not in the mood too.

Also, bamba has stated he's over COVID and he's not sure why he's not moving through the system faster.
