Serge Ibaka Remains Out For Saturday’s Contest
3 years agoLA Clippers center Serge Ibaka (back) will not play in Saturday's game against Minnesota as he continues to work his way back to full strength from a back ailment. Ibaka appeared in two games off the bench over the past week, but in an attempt to get increased reps, he will instead appear in a G League contest. Having seen his scoring average dwindle to 11.1 points per game last season with the Clippers, Ibaka's fantasy value is somewhat up in the air upon his official return, especially with the emergence of Ivica Zubac at the center spot. While the two-time block champion has an impressive track record, until he shows a consistent scoring and rebounding ability this year, he can likely remain on the waiver wire in most season-long formats.

Serge Ibaka Officially Signs With Bucks
3 years agoThe Milwaukee Bucks have officially agreed to a deal with forward Serge Ibaka. The veteran forward finished out the 2021-2022 season as a member of the Bucks. He was the third string center behind Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis. That being said, Ibaka isn't expected to have much fantasy value with both of those players returning this season. The expectation is that Ibaka will have a limited role off the bench with Lopez and Portis in the mix. Possibly, Ibaka has some streaming appeal on nights where Lopez sits for rest purposes. Otherwise, Ibaka can be avoided on draft day until further notice.

Serge Ibaka Plans To Play In The NBA Next Season
3 years agoUpcoming unrestricted free agent Serge Ibaka plans to remain in the league next season. There was chatter that the veteran could be heading overseas to play. However, it appears there was never any foundation to those rumors. Ibaka has missed more than enough time over the years due to injury, and he finished his most recent season with Milwaukee, where the 32-year-old averaged only 7.0 points and 5.3 rebounds throughout 19 games. His best days are likely in the past, although he should have more than a few effective fantasy outings up his sleeve moving forward. Still, Ibaka will likely go undrafted in most formats heading into the 2022-23 campaign, as he isn't anticipated to be a consistent fantasy contributor, regardless of where he ends up.

Serge Ibaka Will Miss Monday’s Game 4
3 years agoMilwaukee Bucks power forward/center Serge Ibaka (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's contest vs. the Celtics. Ibaka combined to play just three minutes off the bench in Games 1 and 2, with the triumvirate of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bobby Portis, and Brook Lopez holding down frontcourt duties. With Robert Williams III (knee) unavailable for Boston, it's unlikely that Milwaukee will need additional big men to step into the rotation. Despite Ibaka's extensive playoff résumé, it's unlikely that he will factor into fantasy considerations for the remainder of the Bucks' 2021-22 playoff run.

Serge Ibaka Acquired By Bucks
3 years agoLos Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka has been traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in part of a four-team trade. This is a big move for Milwaukee who desperately needed another center. Brook Lopez (back) remains without a timetable, so Bobby Portis has been asked to play an increased role. Now, Milwaukee has someone they can give quality backup minutes to and give Portis more rest. Ibaka isn't likely to have standard league value in Milwaukee, but maybe he could have some deep league value. It all depends on how many minutes he plays in the rotation.
