The Philadelphia 76ers were definitely expecting a lot of great things from Adem Bona coming into the 2025-26 season. Unfortunately, they have not really gotten much from him so far in this campaign as the sophomore big man remains far from a favored option for the role he was otherwise expected to bag quite easily.
Instead, Bona has seen his minutes stagnate. Last season, he averaged 15.6 minutes per outing. This time, he is norming 16 minutes a night, which is virtually the same amount which he got during the previous campaign where he benefited from the team missing a bunch of players, especially the core guys.
