Adem Bona Enters 2026-27 as Sixers' Rim-Protecting Big Man
newsroom · 17 min agoAdem Bona returns to the Philadelphia 76ers for 2026-27 wearing No. 30, coming off a second season in which he played 71 games in a limited but efficient role. He is not on the injury report, and the 76ers have not yet opened the new season. Last season's 4.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks a night remain the clearest picture of what he brings into training camp.
Bona's Role Heading Into 2026-27
Adem Bona is back with the Philadelphia 76ers for the 2026-27 season, wearing No. 30. The forward stands 6-10, 235 pounds, is 23 years old, and enters the year with two NBA seasons behind him after coming out of UCLA. Last season, his second in the league, he played 71 games for Philadelphia, averaging 17.4 minutes a night. The 76ers used him for interior work, and that is the role he projects to keep this season: rebounding and rim protection rather than shot creation. His 10.8 usage rate last season shows Philadelphia does not need him to score in order for his minutes to matter, and his 59.5 percent shooting from the field shows he was efficient with the shots he did take.
The 2025-26 Numbers
Bona averaged 4.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.4 steals and 1.2 blocks over 17.4 minutes per game last season, with the ball turned over just 0.8 times a game. His shooting was efficient given the small role: 59.5 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from three-point range, and 70.8 percent from the foul line, numbers that add up to a 63.8 true shooting percentage. His plus-minus sat at minus-0.1, close to even for a 71-game season. Those are the most recent official numbers on him, and they are what the 76ers and their fans will use as the baseline for 2026-27, since his role figures to look similar: minutes off the bench built around defense and the glass.
Health Report
Bona is not on the injury report. There is no injury history listed for him at this point, a clean slate heading into the new season. That matters for a big man who logged 71 games last season, a workload that speaks to his availability. His value is tied directly to time on the floor for rebounding and rim protection, so every game he is available adds to that 71-game floor from a season ago. Right now there is nothing in the injury report to suggest any absence for Bona as Philadelphia opens 2026-27, and his health record from last season gives no reason to expect otherwise once the games start.
What's Ahead for the 76ers Big Man
Philadelphia has not opened the 2026-27 season yet, so there is no new game action to report on Bona. Last season's tape is the best guide for what he brings into camp: 71 games played, 17.4 minutes a night, and per-game numbers built on rebounding (4.3) and shot-blocking (1.2) rather than scoring. Fans will get their first real look at how his role has developed once the regular season begins. Until then, the 2025-26 numbers are the most current picture available: an efficient, limited-usage forward who shot 59.5 percent from the field and stayed on the floor for a full 71-game slate for Philadelphia.
