The Kia Center in downtown Orlando used to be home to Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba. On Wednesday, he’ll make his return to the Orlando Magic’s home court but as a member of the other team for the first time.
On Monday night, the Philadelphia 76ers went into their match without Joel Embiid, as the reigning MVP sat out due to an ankle injury that he suffered last week against the Toronto Raptors.
Wednesday night went as well as the Philadelphia 76ers expected. Facing a struggling Detroit Pistons team, the Sixers wanted to make sure they avoided a trap game on the road and took care of business to secure their fourth-straight win.
Over the previous two seasons, the Philadelphia 76ers have acquired several key talents to back up their defending NBA MVP, Joel Embiid. In the past, it has been Andre Drummond, Paul Millsap, DeAndre Jordan, Montrezl Harrell, and most recently, Mo Bamba.

Since being drafted sixth overall back in 2018, Mo Bamba hasn’t gotten much opportunity in the NBA.
At the trade deadline this year, the Los Angeles Lakers sent Patrick Beverley and a second-round draft pick to the Orlando Magic for center Mo Bamba. The deal gave the Lakers a much-needed backup big man behind Anthony Davis with real size who has shown some potential as both a rim protector defensively and a floor spacer on offense.
