"Devonté represents everything we value as an organization - skill, leadership, and professionalism," said Isaiah Fox, Head Coach of the Saskatoon Mamba. "Bringing him back to
Saskatoon is not only a major addition on the court, but also a meaningful moment for the fans and community."

In the Canadian Elite Basketball League, he has consistently performed at a high level, including averaging 16.3 points per game on 46.8% shooting and an elite 46% from three-point range during the 2024/25 season with Saskatchewan Rattlers. Across multiple seasons with the franchise, Bandoo has regularly hovered around the 16-17 points per game mark, while contributing across the stat sheet with rebounds, assists, and defensive intensity.
Widely regarded as one of the league's most consistent and high-level performers, Bandoo is known for his elite perimeter shooting, basketball IQ, and ability to lead both on and off the court. As the franchise's all-time leading scorer, his impact on the organization is already firmly established.
"I'm thrilled to be back in Saskatchewan under the new organization! I'm looking forward to this next chapter and excited to bring home a championship." said Bandoo.
