Fails to find traction in loss Biyombo accumulated five points (2-4 FG, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 19 minutes during Friday's 127-109 loss to the Kings.

Impact Biyombo was unable to take advantage of Domantas Sabonis' (hamstring), as Jonas Valanciunas did a capable job of holding down the interior. Biyombo has been the best alternative at center despite some volatile results since the All-Star break. He's posted three double-doubles since joining the first unit but has fallen woefully short of the milestone in most of his appearances.

Double-doubles in victory Biyombo notched 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 win over the Nets.

Impact Biyombo tallied a game-high mark in rebounds en route to his third double-double in nine regular-season outings with the Spurs. The 32-year-old has made an immediate impact due to Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) and Charles Bassey (knee) being sidelined. Biyombo has started in each of the club's last eight outings since the All-Star break, during which he has averaged 8.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 19.7 minutes per contest.

Signs pact with San Antonio The Spurs will sign Biyombo to a contract for the remainder of the season following the expiration of his second 10-day pact, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact The veteran center impressed the Spurs enough to earn a rest-of-season contract, and he should continue to see significant playing time with Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) out for the season. Biyombo has started in all five of his appearances with San Antonio, averaging 6.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks while shooting 66.7 percent from the field in 19.0 minutes per game. He logged back-to-back outings with a double-double in that five-game span.

Strong showing in loss Biyombo closed with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-96 loss to New Orleans.

Impact After two lackluster efforts as the Spurs' new starting center in which he didn't play more than 16 minutes, Biyombo got a full workload Sunday and responded with his first double-double since Nov. 12, 2023, and his highest combined block and steal total since Dec. 23, 2022. With Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) lost for the season, the 32-year-old Biyombo appears to be San Antonio's best option in the middle, and he's still capable of making an impact at the rim -- he averaged 1.1 blocks in 23.9 minutes over 30 contests last season for the Grizzlies.

Lands second 10-day pact Friday The Spurs signed Biyombo to a 10-day contract Friday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact The Spurs signed Biyombo to a new 10-day pact after the expiration of his first 10-day contract. The veteran big man's only appearance was a spot start in Thursday's win over Phoenix, during which he recorded eight points (4-4 FG), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes. With Victor Wembanyama (blood clot) on the shelf for the rest of the season, Biyombo is a candidate to earn a contract for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ten-day deal expires Biyombo became a free agent Friday after his 10-day contract expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Biyombo will at least temporarily become a free agent one day after he made his season debut for the Spurs in a 120-109 win over the Suns. With Victor Wembanyama (bloot clot) ruled out for the season prior to Thursday's contest, Biyombo went from being out of the rotation to stepping in as the Spurs' starting center. Despite getting the starting assignment, he played just 16 minutes and finished with eight points (4-4 FG), three rebounds, two assists and one steal while interim head coach Mitch Johnson made ample use of Jeremy Sochan as a small-ball option at center. The Spurs could still look to re-sign Biyombo to a second 10-day deal ahead of Friday's game against the Pistons, but even if that happens, it's unclear if the 32-year-old would continue to start. Charles Bassey (knee) may be ready to return from a six-game absence Friday, and he may be prioritized ahead of Biyombo at center. The Spurs could also open up more playing time at center for Sandro Mamukelashvili, who didn't play Thursday in a coach's decision.

Starting in season debut Biyombo is starting Thursday's game against the Suns, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Biyombo put pen to paper on a 10-day deal with the Spurs on Feb. 8, and he'll get an opportunity to show what he can do Thursday after it was reported earlier in the day that Victor Wembanyama would be shut down for the rest of the year due to deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder. Biyombo could certainly earn consistent playing time with a strong outing versus Phoenix, though Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jeremy Sochan could also get looks at center going forward.

The 32-year-old made 40 appearances between the Grizzlies and Thunder last season, averaging 4.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 19.8 minutes per contest.
