The Orlando Magic are holding center Mo Bamba out for the rest of summer league due to general soreness, according to The Athletic's Josh Robbins.
Bamba suffered a stress fracture in his left leg last season but the discomfort is not in that area, Robbins adds.
The 20-year-old appeared in just one exhibition contest for Orlando this summer, finishing Friday's win against the San Antonio Spurs with 15 points and two rebounds. The Magic held him out of Sunday's loss to the Denver Nuggets for what the team called "precautionary reasons."
Bamba missed nearly half of his rookie year due to the fracture. He averaged 6.2 points, five rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 47 games last season.
