Patrick Beverley's recent podcast appearance sparked a conflict between him and Mo Bamba. Beverley appeared on The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone earlier this week, where he named the 'whitest blackest guys' in the NBA. Mo Bamba was named as one of such players, seemingly being one of the players who supposedly do not represent the African American culture or its stereotype.
Los Angeles Lakers are waiving center Mo Bamba, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. Bamba's non-guaranteed contract is worth $10.3 million. Unless they can find a trade in the final hours, Los Angeles is also expected to decline Malik Beasley's $16.5 million team option for the 2023-24 season, per the same report.
Mo Bamba has been evaluated by Los Angeles Lakers team doctors and has been diagnosed with a high left ankle sprain, per the official report. Lakers also say that the player will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks. Bamba suffered an ankle injury vs. the Golden State Warriors.

Patrick Beverley is heading to the Orlando Magic via trade, Shams Charania from The Athletic reports. According to the report, the Los Angeles Lakers will receive center Mo Bamba. Beverley averaged 6.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 45 games for the Lakers this season. Khobi Price from Orlando Sports reports that it's unlikely Beverley will play for the Magic.
Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba has been suspended four games without pay and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Austin Rivers has been suspended three games without pay for their roles in an on-court altercation, the NBA announced.

Orlando's Jalen Suggs and Minnesota's Taurean Prince and Jaden McDaniels were tossed along with Rivers and Bamba for their involvement. The massive brawl happened with 1:32 remaining in the third quarter, with the Magic leading 83-73 at that time.
