LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Mo Bamba will not play for the Orlando Magic in this season's playoffs after leaving the bubble for testing related to his previous bout with coronavirus, the team announced Friday.
Bamba was diagnosed with COVID-19 on June 11. The 22-year-old appeared in 62 games with the Magic this season but logged only 11 minutes of action in Orlando's first two seeding games at Walt Disney World Resort.
He did not appear in any of Orlando's final six seeding games.
"On the advice of the Magic's human performance staff and team physicians, Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba has left the NBA campus for a comprehensive post-coronavirus evaluation," the team said in a release Friday.
The 7-footer averaged 5.4 points and 4.9 rebounds for the Magic this season. He was the No. 6 pick in the 2018 draft.
Orlando is playing Milwaukee in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
