Serge Ibaka Fantasy Stats

Milwaukee Bucks forward Serge Ibaka and the team mutually agreed to find the veteran big man a new home via trade as reported by Shams Charania. He's already away from the team and has been expected to remain away until a deal is done. Ibaka has only appeared in a total of 16 out of a possible 45 games and has only averaged 11.6 minutes per game. Even after getting traded to Milwaukee last season and averaging 17.8 minutes per contest over 19 games, Ibaka wasn't on any fantasy radars. If he's traded to a team that can actually use his services, fantasy managers should proceed with caution before adding him because he could play an end of the bench role until the playoffs.

The Milwaukee Bucks have officially agreed to a deal with forward Serge Ibaka. The veteran forward finished out the 2021-2022 season as a member of the Bucks. He was the third string center behind Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis. That being said, Ibaka isn't expected to have much fantasy value with both of those players returning this season. The expectation is that Ibaka will have a limited role off the bench with Lopez and Portis in the mix. Possibly, Ibaka has some streaming appeal on nights where Lopez sits for rest purposes. Otherwise, Ibaka can be avoided on draft day until further notice.

Upcoming unrestricted free agent Serge Ibaka plans to remain in the league next season. There was chatter that the veteran could be heading overseas to play. However, it appears there was never any foundation to those rumors. Ibaka has missed more than enough time over the years due to injury, and he finished his most recent season with Milwaukee, where the 32-year-old averaged only 7.0 points and 5.3 rebounds throughout 19 games. His best days are likely in the past, although he should have more than a few effective fantasy outings up his sleeve moving forward. Still, Ibaka will likely go undrafted in most formats heading into the 2022-23 campaign, as he isn't anticipated to be a consistent fantasy contributor, regardless of where he ends up.

Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Serge Ibaka (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's contest vs. the Celtics. Ibaka combined to play just three minutes off the bench in Games 1 and 2, with the triumvirate of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bobby Portis, and Brook Lopez holding down frontcourt duties. With Robert Williams III (knee) unavailable for Boston, it's unlikely that Milwaukee will need additional big men to step into the rotation. Despite Ibaka's extensive playoff rsum, it's unlikely that he will factor into fantasy considerations for the remainder of the Bucks' 2021-22 playoff run.

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka has been traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in part of a four-team trade. This is a big move for Milwaukee who desperately needed another center. Brook Lopez (back) remains without a timetable, so Bobby Portis has been asked to play an increased role. Now, Milwaukee has someone they can give quality backup minutes to and give Portis more rest. Ibaka isn't likely to have standard league value in Milwaukee, but maybe he could have some deep league value. It all depends on how many minutes he plays in the rotation.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Serge Ibaka made a good contribution in 20 minutes off the bench against the Kings on Wednesday, notching a season-high 17 points and five rebounds in a 105-89 win. He shot 7-for-9 from the field with a 2-for-3 record from downtown and completed his line with one steal, one block and three turnovers. Ibaka returned to the lineup this week, and he's looked pretty decent, but fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited, as the veteran is benefiting from the absences of Marcus Morris (health and safety protocols) and Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle).

LA Clippers power forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) and center Serge Ibakawill both be unavailable for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies. Morris has not played since Oct. 23 due to a left knee injury, while Ibaka is continuing to ramp up his activity level away from the team. Their absences in the frontcourt have funneled minutes toward Ivica Zubac and Isaiah Hartenstein, while Nicolas Batum (Achilles) has held down the starting gig as a stretch four. Until fantasy managers hear otherwise, both can be presumed unavailable as the Clippers have shown a desire to give them adequate time to be fully healthy before returning them to the court.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Serge Ibaka (back) is out for Sunday's matchup against Chicago. The veteran has appeared in only two games since returning from back surgery but in an attempt to get him back up to speed, he will spend some times with the team's G-League affiliate. His stay shouldn't be too long, although even when he is ready to make it back, it's unlikely he will offer much from a fantasy standpoint right away. As a result, Nicolas Batum, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Justice Winslow should continue to see an uptick in minutes and production, although Batum should be the preferred option for fantasy managers.

LA Clippers center Serge Ibaka (back) will not play in Saturday's game against Minnesota as he continues to work his way back to full strength from a back ailment. Ibaka appeared in two games off the bench over the past week, but in an attempt to get increased reps, he will instead appear in a G League contest. Having seen his scoring average dwindle to 11.1 points per game last season with the Clippers, Ibaka's fantasy value is somewhat up in the air upon his official return, especially with the emergence of Ivica Zubac at the center spot. While the two-time block champion has an impressive track record, until he shows a consistent scoring and rebounding ability this year, he can likely remain on the waiver wire in most season-long formats.

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka (back) is no longer listed on the injury report. The veteran big man hasn't seen any live action since May of last season. He underwent back surgery this offseason, but it appears Ibaka is close to returning. The Clippers will almost certainly limit Ibaka and ease him back into action. It's unknown if his first game will be against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. However, Ibaka is off the injury report, which means his return should be soon. He isn't a must-have player in fantasy formats right now, but his status is worth monitoring.
