Adem Bona Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's season opener against the New York Knicks, according to Adam Aaronson. Bona missed the entire preseason after spraining his foot with T rkiye during FIBA World Cup qualifying. With Ariel Hukporti (Achilles) out for the season and Dominick Barlow (back) sidelined for at least two weeks, Bona is in line to serve as Joel Embiid's traditional backup when healthy. He averaged 4.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 17.4 minutes last season, with rim protection providing his clearest fantasy appeal. If Bona sits, Jabari Walker and LeBron James could absorb small-ball center minutes, while Dean Wade (ankle) is also questionable. Bona's value should climb whenever Embiid misses time.

Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports that Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (foot) is expected to miss the team's next two preseason contests against Brooklyn and Boston. Bona continues to recover from a left foot injury sustained during FIBA play. Last season, the 23-year-old averaged 4.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 17.4 minutes per game. With Ariel Hukporti (Achilles) sidelined indefinitely, Bona could see additional minutes behind center Joel Embiid once healthy.

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (foot) was diagnosed with a sprain after getting hurt while playing for Turkey in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers and will be reevaluated at the start of training camp. Bona averaged 8.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks across four qualifiers and is expected to resume on-court workouts within the first two weeks of camp. The 23-year-old posted 4.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 17.4 minutes last season. Ariel Hukporti should get an early opportunity to compete for backup minutes behind Joel Embiid, but Bona's shot-blocking gives him fantasy appeal whenever his role expands.

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (ankle) will play on Friday versus Brooklyn after missing the last five games because of a sprained right ankle. The 22-year-old wasn't productive before going down with the injury, averaging only 2.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks. With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, he may have had an opportunity for more involvement. However, it's been Andre Drummond making the most of his afforded opportunities, averaging 10.9 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in eight starts. With that said, Bona could see some action on Friday, although he's tough to trust even with a favorable matchup on the horizon.

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (ankle) will miss Tuesday's home game against Orlando. He has missed the last four games for the Sixers, leaving more time for Andre Drummond, Dominick Barlow, and Trendon Watford at center. Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable and could take some of the minutes in the middle as well if he's ready to return. It looks like Bona may have missed this window of opportunity to fill in for Embiid. In his 12 games this year, he's only averaged 2.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 15 minutes per game.

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (ankle) is dealing with an ankle sprain and will not suit up against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. The 22-year-old has seen his minutes fluctuate as head coach Nick Nurse went with more of a matchup-dependent approach, but Bona's biggest fantasy contribution has been in the blocks department with 20 through 12 games. Outside of that, he's seen dips in rebounding and offensive numbers even though he's playing a similar amount of minutes. While he's out, Andre Drummond will start again with Trendon Watford, Dominick Barlow, and Jabari Walker seeing some added minutes in the frontcourt. If Drummond is available, he's by far the best streaming option with averages of 8.0 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona stepped into the starting lineup for Thursday's exhibition opener in Abu Dhabi. True to form, Bona had a few highlight-reel plays but also struggled with foul trouble. He only ended up logging 14 minutes and contributing four points, two rebounds, an assist, and a block. Andre Drummond only played eight minutes off the bench and chipped in two points and three rebounds. Bona could have streaming or DFS value if (or when) Joel Embiid (knee) misses any time and he fills in the starting lineup, but he'll need to avoid foul trouble. Bona and Drummond will continue to compete for the backup center role, but Bona has more dynamic upside for fantasy if he can win the job.

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (ankle) will not play on Monday against the Houston Rockets. He has been ruled out for a second consecutive game due to a sprained ankle. The rookie big man has exited the lineup following an impressive stint. He has posted 13.8 points and 8.8 rebounds over his past four appearances. Oshae Brissett, Chuma Okeke, and Alex Reese are candidates for an increased workload in the frontcourt on Monday, especially if Guerschon Yabusele (knee), who has been labeled as questionable, is ruled out for the contest.

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (knee) has been ruled out for Friday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Bona is dealing with a left knee contusion. The rookie has been getting more minutes as of late with both Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond dealing with their own injury issues. Bona hadn't been making much of a fantasy impact, averaging just 3.3 PPG and 3.0 RPG off the bench in the last three games, two without Drummond active. Bona's absence won't have much impact on the Sixers against Orlando. Drummond, who's listed as questionable, will be a solid fantasy option from a rebounding standpoint if he's able to play.

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona has been recalled from the team's G League affiliate and is officially available to play on Monday against the Miami Heat. He was originally sent down earlier Monday morning, but with Joel Embiid (illness) getting downgraded to doubtful, the team wanted to make sure they had another big man on the depth chart. Bona has usually come into the game during garbage time, so he's not much of a fantasy streamer at this time.
