Jazz Ending Mo Bamba’s Second 10-Day Contract

According to Reynolds, Bamba won’t finish out his second 10-day deal with Utah because he was unable to travel with the team on its three-game road trip after he contracted an illness. The eighth-year center’s contract was set to expire next Tuesday, but he will be let go early to make room on the roster for Bez Mbeng, who will also sign a 10-day pact.

Bamba is now a free agent and doesn’t have to clear waivers since he was on a 10-day agreement. He will still be paid the full $177,064 he was owed, with Utah taking on a cap hit of $131,970 ($263,940 in total, since he signed two 10-day deals).

The former lottery pick has spent most of the season in the G League with the Salt Lake City Stars. Bamba also had a brief stint with Toronto earlier this season. He has appeared in four total games with the Raptors and Jazz in 2025/26, averaging 2.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per contest.

The Jazz signed former Texas A&M forward Andersson Garcia to a 10-day contract on Wednesday. The 25-year-old rookie, who had been playing in the G League with the Mexico City Capitanes, had six points, nine rebounds, one steal and one block in 25 minutes during his NBA debut on Wednesday against New York.
