Top Ibou Badji News

  • Bucks' Ibou Badji: Heading to Milwaukee

    The Bucks signed Badji to an Exhibit 10 deal Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    Badji will have the opportunity to make the Bucks' NBA roster on a non-guaranteed deal during fall training camp, although he likely will end up with the club's G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd. The 21-year-old registered 22 regular-season appearances with Portland last season, during which he averaged 1.5 points and 2.3 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game.

  • Trail Blazers' Ibou Badji: Leaves early with bruised hip

    Badji won't return to Friday's game against Minnesota due to a right hip contusion. He finished with two points (1-1 FG), six rebounds and one block in nine minutes.

    Badji has been picking up the backup center minutes behind Duop Reath while Deandre Ayton (knee) has been sidelined. If Badji is forced to miss additional time and if Ayton isn't ready to play in Sunday's game against the Suns, Portland could turn to Jabari Walker as the primary backup to Reath.

  • Trail Blazers' Ibou Badji: Returns to Portland on two-way pact

    Badji agreed to a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Badji previously signed a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers last November, but he didn't make an appearance at the NBA level for the club before undergoing an arthroscopic patellar chondroplasty and debridement surgery on his left knee in March. Portland brought him back on another two-way deal in July, only to waive him in October and give his spot to another player. The 7-foot-1 center will now rejoin Portland after the Trail Blazers waived guard Jamaree Bouyea on Wednesday to reopen one of their three two-way spots.

  • Ibou Badji: Waived by Portland

    Badji was waived by the Trail Blazers on Monday, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

    Badji joined the Trail Blazers on a two-way contract last November but didn't make his NBA debut and underwent season-ending knee surgery in early March. While he returned to full health during the offseason, he was unable to make the team's final roster and will be let go after Portland signed Duop Reath to a two-way deal Monday.

  • Trail Blazers' Ibou Badji: Moves past knee issue

    Badji (knee) has played in all four of the Trail Blazers' Las Vegas Summer League games to date, averaging 3.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 assists in 19.5 minutes.

    After signing a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers last November, Badji never got the chance to make his NBA debut before he underwent season-ending surgery on his sore left knee March 7. Now healthy four months later, Badji had his two-way contract renewed earlier in July and has put his 7-foot-1, 240-pound frame to good use as a rim protector in Las Vegas. The Trail Blazers are lacking in established frontcourt depth behind starting center Jusuf Nurkic, so Badji could have a shot at cracking the Trail Blazers' rotation to open the season if the front office doesn't elect to bring in any other veteran big men.
