Orlando Magic’s injury caution has context with youth basketball worries

Mohamed Bamba is willing to poke fun at himself and the situation he is in.

He is a 21-year-old after all. And the early part of his basketball career has been anything but instant gratification. There is a bit of youthful impatience in his eye.

Mohamed Bamba wanted to play when the Orlando Magic shut him down for the rest of Summer League after one game and 15 minutes. You could see how eager he was to get back on the court as he traveled with the team throughout the final 31 games, which he missed with a fracture in his left tibia.
