Before being waived by Memphis in January, Biyombo made 30 appearances and averaged 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game. The veteran may usurp Jaylin Williams as the top backup center behind Chet Holmgren.

Will debut after All-Star break Biyombo will not be available to make his Thunder debut until after the All-Star break, Brett Dawson of Sellout Crowd reports.

Impact The big man signed with the team over the weekend but will not be available for their lone remaining contest -- Tuesday at Orlando -- before the break. When the Thunder resume play on Feb. 22 against the Clippers, Biyombo figures to fill a depth role behind Chet Holmgren. Prior to being waived in January, the veteran appeared in 30 games for the Grizzlies, posting 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game.

Not available Sunday Biyombo (not with team) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact Biyombo finalized a one-year contract with the Thunder on Saturday, but he has yet to join the organization and will have to wait to make his team debut. If Biyombo is able to get in a practice with the club Monday, he could be available Tuesday in Orlando in the Thunder's final game before the All-Star break. Once he gets acclimated to his new team, Biyombo could challenge Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams for the top backup role behind starting center Chet Holmgren.

Joining Thunder Biyombo has signed a deal with the Thunder for the remainder of the season, Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports

Impact The Thunder have been rumored to be looking for extra frontcourt depth for much of the season and appear to have found their solution with Biyombo. The veteran big man averaged 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 23.9 minutes in 30 games with the Grizzlies this season before being waived in mid-January. He will now compete for minutes with the likes of Aleksej Pokusevski, Kenrich Williams and Ousmane Dieng.

Let go by Memphis The Grizzlies waived Biyombo on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Biyombo played a major role for the Grizzlies' depleted frontcourt all season, posting 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks in 23.9 minutes across 30 appearances (27 starts). With Steven Adams (knee) out for the season and Brandon Clarke (Achilles) not close to a return, Xavier Tillman and Santi Aldama should get extended looks most nights, but Jaren Jackson might also spend more time at center in Biyombo's absence.

JANUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back with starters Biyombo is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Dallas, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact Biyombo came off the bench and played 26 minutes versus the Suns on Sunday, while Xavier Tillman played just three minutes despite getting the start. Both players will likely be utilized Tuesday with Jaren Jackson (knee) sidelined.

JANUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies six rebounds vs. Phoenix Biyombo chipped in one point (0-2 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 26 minutes during Sunday's 121-115 victory over Phoenix.

Impact Biyombo was announced as a starter for Sunday's matchup, but he came off the bench as Xavier Tillman surprisingly joined the starting unit. However, Biyombo saw a relatively normal allotment of minutes, while Tillman played just three minutes. Biyombo has been a relatively limited contributor this year, averaging 4.1 points and 5.9 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.

JANUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back with starters Biyombo is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Lakers.

Impact Xavier Tillman replaced Biyombo in the starting five on Wednesday versus Toronto, but he had a rough showing in 23 minutes. Meanwhile, Biyombo didn't even see the floor that night. As a starter this season, Biyombo holds averages of 5.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 blocks.

JANUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Retreats to bench Biyombo won't start Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact After starting in all but one of his appearances this season, Biyombo will retreat to the bench in favor of Xavier Tillman. The change shouldn't come as too large of a surprise considering has averaged 21.5 minutes per game in his last eight appearances while averaging a measly 4.3 points.

JANUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays only eight minutes in loss Biyombo ended Friday's 117-106 loss to the Clippers with two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and one steal across eight minutes.

Impact The Grizzlies were outrebounded 54-33 in the loss, and a lack of interior support from Biyombo was a key factor. Jaren Jackson, Santi Aldama and Xavier Tillman also had subpar success on the glass, but Memphis will need to figure out a solution at the five if Biyombo continues his downward trend.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check Thursday Biyombo racked up two points (1-4 FG), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Thursday's 142-105 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Biyombo hasn't scored in double figures in five appearances since returning from a one-game absence, but his production was particularly limited during Thursday's blowout loss. The 31-year-old has been an unreliable contributor this month, averaging 4.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per game over 12 appearances in December.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 22 minutes in return Biyombo had eight points (4-5 FG), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 115-113 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Biyombo returned to the lineup after missing the previous game due to a back injury. He slid straight back into the starting unit, although failed to produce anything of note. Both he and Xavier Tillman are likely to battle for center minutes moving forward. While neither should be considered must-roster players, both should be monitored and streamed in, if and when injury befalls the other.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Pelicans Biyombo (back) is starting against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Impact Biyombo missed Monday's game against the Thunder, but he's all set after a temporary setback. He may find life a little easier Tuesday, as the Grizzlies will be getting Ja Morant back in the lineup with his 25-game suspension over.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared Tuesday Biyombo (back) is off the injury report in advance of Tuesday's contest against New Orleans.

Impact Biyombo will be available for Ja Morant's return from suspension Tuesday night. Vince Williams and Ziaire Williams will likely see reduce roles with Biyombo active, while GG Jackson could be removed from the rotation with the Grizzlies' regaining depth.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Monday Biyombo (back) is out Monday against Oklahoma City.

Impact Biyombo was listed as doubtful throughout Monday, so his inability to suit up isn't overly surprising. Santi Aldama and Xavier Tillman will likely serve enlarged roles in the frontcourt, while a heroically large workload will persist for Jaren Jackson in the final game before Ja Morant's (suspension) return Tuesday.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Monday Biyombo is doubtful for Monday's game against the Thunder due to back soreness.

Impact Biyombo returned to the starting unit over the last two matchups, but he'll likely be forced to miss his first game since the start of November on Monday. Assuming Biyombo is sidelined, Jaren Jackson and Xavier Tillman are candidates to see increased run.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back with starters Biyombo will start Wednesday at Houston.

Impact After a one-game stint with the reserves, Biyombo will return to the first unit for Wednesday's tilt. In 15 starts this season, Biyombo is averaging 6.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks over 26.8 minutes.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Monday Biyombo will come off the bench for Monday's game against Dallas, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact Biyombo has started in all 15 of his appearances for the Grizzlies this season, but Memphis will change it up Monday. Jaren Jackson and Santi Aldama will anchor the frontcourt against an undersized Dallas team, with Biyombo and Xavier Tillman coming off the bench. Biyombo is averaging 21.0 minutes across his past three games.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs 11 boards in win Biyombo put up two points (1-3 FG), 11 rebounds, four assists and a block over 26 minutes in a 116-102 win over the Pistons on Wednesday.

Impact Wednesday night also marked Biyombo's fifth game reaching double digits in the boards column. He has solidified himself as a reliable starter on the defensive end this season in the absence of Steven Adams (knee), averaging 7.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks through 27.1 minutes. As Adams, Brandon Clarke (Achilles) and Xavier Tillman (knee) will all be out for extended periods (the first two being out presumably for the entire season), expect Biyombo to continue drawing major minutes down the line.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Decent stat line Sunday Biyombo recorded 10 points (2-3 FG, 6-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 119-97 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Biyombo started for the first time on Nov. 5 and has taken over the role of starting center over Xavier Tillman and Steven Adams, as both are dealing with knee injuries -- a season-ending once in the case of Adams. Biyombo has never been a regular scorer, but he has scored in double digits in four of his 10 games. This is the first time he's starting on a semi-regular basis since the 2020-21 campaign when he was playing for Charlotte.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets in foul trouble Biyombo logged two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Sunday's 102-100 loss to Boston.

Impact Biyombo was getting a lot of consistent minutes coming into Sunday's game, but he picked up five fouls in this one. It's worth noting that Santi Aldama is heating up for the Grizzlies, but the Grizzlies have actually been starting a jumbo lineup featuring all three of Biyombo, Aldama and Jaren Jackson.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double in win Biyombo had 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-7 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 36 minutes in Sunday's 105-101 win over the Clippers.

Impact Biyombo has recorded 10-plus rebounds in all four games for the Grizzlies since joining the team on Nov. 2. He registered his second-straight double-double as he fills in a need at rebounding with Steven Adams (knee) out for the season. He also had a team-best plus-20 point differential and was one of four Grizzlies starters to score in double figures Sunday.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive as starter Biyombo notched eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 26 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 victory over Portland.

Impact Biyombo had minimal playing time to begin the season but performed well Sunday after he was a late addition to the starting lineup in place of Xavier Tillman (knee). It's unclear whether Biyombo's performance will earn him increased playing time moving forward, but he'll likely return to the bench once Tillman is cleared to return.
