TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors announced Tuesday they have waived centre Mo Bamba.

The seven-footer appeared in two games after signing as a free agent Dec. 29.

Bamba did not score in his brief stint with the club.

Toronto brought him in as front-court depth while starter Jakob Poeltl continued to rehabilitate a lower-back injury.

The 27-year-old was the sixth overall pick by Orlando in the 2018 NBA draft.

Bamba has averaged 6.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks over seven N-B-A seasons.
