Secures backup role
Bona supplied four points (4-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 139-136 overtime victory over the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Bona played 26 minutes as the backup center behind Joel Embiid, with Andre Drummond moving out of the rotation. Bona has now played at least 26 minutes in two straight games, even sharing the floor with Embiid during Tuesday's win. While this doesn't make him a must-roster player, it does put him in the streaming discussion, if and when Embiid misses time.

Four rejections in loss
Bona accumulated 11 points (3-4 FG, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 28 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 129-104 loss to Oklahoma City.
Analysis
The 28 minutes were a season high for Bona, who has been getting extra run of late while Joel Embiid deals with nagging lower-body injuries, including a sprained ankle that kept him in street clothes Sunday. The second-year center has played at least 15 minutes in four of the last five games, recording double-digit points with eight boards twice and racking up a total of eight blocks.
