Mohamed Bamba Sits Out Against Grizzlies With Bruised Wrist

ORLANDO – Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba was held out of action on Wednesday night as a precautionary measure after suffering a bruised right wrist, but the impressive rookie refused to allow the injury to slow down the progress he’s made thus far.

Bamba, the No. 6 overall pick in last June’s NBA Draft, injured his shooting wrist in the third quarter of Monday’s loss to Miami when he was hit hard by Heat center Bam Adebayo and landed awkwardly on the floor.

Bamba was able to stay in the game, but the wrist became increasingly sore.
