Bismack Biyombo News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Getting spot start Biyombo will start Sunday's matchup against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Biyombo will get a last-minute spot in the starting lineup with Xavier Tillman being ruled out just before tipoff with a knee injury. Biyombo, who signed with the team on Thursday, will be making his season debut.

Signing with Memphis official The Grizzlies announced the signing of Biyombo to a one-year contract Thursday.

Impact Shams Charania of The Athletic previously reported Saturday that Biyombo had agreed to terms on a deal with Memphis, but the Grizzlies weren't able to formally add the veteran center to the 15-man roster until the team completed its fifth game of the season Wednesday. Biyombo is joining the roster via an exemption that the league has allotted to the Grizzlies while guard Ja Morant serves a 25-game suspension to open the season. Though Biyombo essentially taking Morant's spot on the roster, his addition is more about the Grizzlies looking to shore up their frontcourt with Steven Adams (knee) sidelined for the season and Brandon Clarke (Achilles) likely out until late in the campaign. Biyombo will be eligible to make his team debut Friday in Portland, and he could immediately have a spot in the rotation as the primary backup to starting center Xavier Tillman.

Reinforces Grizzlies Biyombo agreed to a deal with Memphis on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Biyombo joins a Memphis frontcourt depleted by injuries, with Santi Aldama (ankle) without an official timeline to return and Steven Adams (knee) out for the season. Entering his age-31 season, Biyombo may cut into the usage of Xavier Tillman while shoring up Memphis' rim protection.

Impact Biyombo continues to play limited minutes off the bench, a role that is unlikely to change heading into the second round of the playoffs. Despite his reduced playing time, Biyombo still managed to rack up three blocks, impacting the game on the defensive end. The Nuggets also run a sizeable rotation, meaning Biyombo should once again serve as the primary backup behind Deandre Ayton.

Limited in backup role Biyombo logged three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over 12 minutes during Saturday's 112-100 win over the Clippers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarter...

Impact Biyombo played as the primary backup behind Deandre Ayton, logging just 12 minutes in the win. With Ayton firing on all cylinders, Biyombo is simply not required to play a ton of minutes. At this point, it would take an injury to Ayton for Biyombo to be anything more than a place-holder when Ayton is catching his breath.

Cleared for Game 1 Biyombo (knee) is absent from the Suns' injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 1 matchup with the Clippers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Biyombo suffered a right knee bone bruise in the second-to-last game of the regular-season and subsequently missed the finale. He returned to practice earlier this week and is expected to take on his usual workload providing depth in the frontcourt.

Returns to practice Biyombo (knee) was wearing a knee brace in Wednesday's practice, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Biyombo missed Phoenix's regular-season finale due to a right knee contusion. However, his return to practice is a good sign for Sunday's playoff game versus the Clippers. If he is able to suit up, he will likely receive backup center minutes behind Deandre Ayton.

Unable to return Friday Biyombo (right knee injury) will not return Friday against the Lakers according to Trevor Booth of the Bright Side of the Sun.

Impact The Suns are already short on bodies, as Deandre Ayton is one of a number of regulars getting the night off. Jock Landale started the second half and will likely see a heavy workload the rest of the evening.

Plays well in reserve Biyombo closed with nine points (3-8 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 20 minutes during Friday's 100-93 win over the Nuggets.

Impact With Deandre Ayton struggling with fouls, Biyombo saw solid playing time off the bench and blocked at least three shots for a second straight game. Since returning to a reserve role, Biyombo has averaged 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 assists in 19.0 minutes over his past three appearances.

Shines against Philadelphia Biyombo contributed 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 29 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Biyombo was tasked with replacing Deandre Ayton (hip), and the veteran big man delivered an impressive performance on both ends of the court. To note, Biyombo recorded a season-high mark in scoring and also tied his season-high mark for blocks. Biyombo has been starting with Ayton sidelined, and if that's the case again Monday, then the veteran would presumably draw a fifth straight start.

Grabs eight boards Biyombo provided six points (3-4 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-111 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Biyombo made his second straight start in place of Deandre Ayton (hip), but he was again unable to match Ayton's level of offensive production. Biyombo is averaging just 6.5 points in the two-game span, though he's done okay on the boards with 7.0 rebounds per contest. The one area in which Biyombo can outshine Ayton is blocks -- Biyombo has five swats over his past two games, as many as Ayton has in his past six contests combined.

Will start Sunday Biyombo will start Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Biyombo will get the spot start with Deandre Ayton (groin) out. Across nine starts this season, the veteran back has averaged 7.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.1 assists in 23.4 minutes.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in rotation Thursday Biyombo provided four points (2-2 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 12 minutes during Thursday's 116-107 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Biyombo saw a few extra minutes in the loss as the Suns attempted to combat the size of the Clippers' frontcourt. Despite featuring in the rotation on most nights, Biyombo has been a non-factor in terms of fantasy production. He is outside the top 300 in standard formats and should be considered only when Deandre Ayton misses time.

Not starting Thursday Biyombo will return to the second unit for Thursday's meeting with Dallas.

Impact Biyombo logged three straight starts with Deandre Ayton (illness) sidelined and averaged 7.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks across 25.7 minutes. However, with Ayton healthy, Biyombo will return to the bench. In 30 bench appearances, Biyombo has averaged 3.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks over 11.8 minutes.

Swats away five shots Biyombo chipped in six points (3-6 FG), nine rebounds, five blocks and four assists over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 128-97 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Biyombo was efficient with limited chances on the offensive end, but his big contributions came on the defensive end. He ripped down eight defensive rebounds and tallied a season-high five blocks. Biyombo is averaging 7.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.0 blocks across three straight starts in the absence of Deandre Ayton (illness).

Pulls down 16 rebounds as starter Biyombo produced 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 FT), 16 rebounds, three blocks and two assists across 30 minutes during Saturday's 112-107 win over the Pacers.

Impact BIyombo did some damage to fantasy managers' free-throw percentage, but he otherwise proved to be a strong option for those that streamed him with Deandre Ayton (illness) sitting out. The points and rebounds totals represented new season highs for Biyombo, who could retain some value if Ayton remains sidelined for the back end of the back-to-back set Sunday against the Grizzlies.

Starting against Indiana Biyombo is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Biyombo gets the starting nod with Deandre Ayton (illness) ruled out. The veteran big man is averaging 6.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in six starts this season.

JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Barely in rotation Friday Biyombo ended Friday's 121-116 loss to the Timberwolves with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in six minutes.

Impact Biyombo moved back to the bench with Deandre Ayton returning to action Friday, and the former barely saw the floor in the loss. While Biyombo can have some very limited streaming appeal any time Ayton is out, his role on most nights is simply too insignificant to warrant any attention, even in deeper fantasy formats.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Biyombo isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Deandre Ayton will replace Biyombo in the starting lineup after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury. Biyombo will likely play between 10-15 minutes off the bench Friday.
