Biyombo totaled two points (1-3 FG) and seven rebounds in 14 minutes during Sunday's 125-118 victory over the Raptors.
Biyombo made 26 starts during his 28 regular-season appearances with the Spurs, though his fantasy appeal was always limited to deeper formats. He produced averages of 5.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.6 steals on 58.8 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from the line in 18.8 minutes. The 32-year-old center will be a free agent during the offseason.

Rotowire
Biyombo provided 10 points (5-10 FG), four rebounds and one block across 19 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Biyombo continues to draw starts for the Spurs, but he's often more a nominal member of the first unit considering his playing time is typically modest. Over his past 15 games, Biyombo is averaging just 5.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 20.1 minutes per game.

Spurs' Bismack Biyombo: Doesn't play Saturday
Rotowire
Biyombo didn't play in Saturday's 121-111 loss to the Celtics.
For the second time in five games, Biyombo didn't see any playing time despite being healthy. Jeremy Sochan started at center in Biyombo's place Saturday. Biyombo could be back in the rotation during Sunday's game against the Magic, as he hasn't missed two consecutive contests since moving into the Spurs' rotation in late February. Over the last 21 games, Biyombo has recorded 18 starts, averaging 5.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in 18.6 minutes per contest.

Spurs' Bismack Biyombo: Absent from starting lineup
Rotowire
Biyombo is not in the Spurs' starting lineup against the Celtics on Saturday.
Biyombo has started in 18 of 19 games for the Spurs this season, but he'll come off the bench Saturday while Jeremy Sochan draws the start at center. Biyombo has averaged 4.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 18.5 minutes per game since the beginning of March.
Biyombo will start in Sunday's game against Toronto, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The veteran center will return to the starting five after receiving a DNP due to a coach's decision in Friday's win over the 76ers. He'll push Jeremy Sochan to the second unit. Over his last five outings (four starts), Biyombo has averaged 2.8 points and 3.6 rebounds across 16.0 minutes per contest.

Spurs' Bismack Biyombo: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
Biyombo provided four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Monday's 125-109 loss to the Lakers.

Spurs' Bismack Biyombo: Fails to find traction in loss
Rotowire
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.
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 short of the milestone in most appearances.

Spurs' Bismack Biyombo: Double-doubles in victory
Rotowire
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.
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.

Spurs' Bismack Biyombo: Signs pact with San Antonio
Rotowire
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.
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 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.

Spurs' Bismack Biyombo: Strong showing in loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Bismack Biyombo: Ten-day deal expires
Rotowire
Biyombo became a free agent Friday after his 10-day contract with the Spurs expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Biyombo will at least temporarily head to the open market one day after he made his season debut for the Spurs in a 120-109 win over the Suns. With Victor Wembanyama (blood 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 could 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.

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

Biyombo isn't listedon the injury report for Friday's game against the Heat.
During a timeout in the first quarter of Wednesday's 128-120 win over the Trail Blazers, Biyombo endured a fainting spell, but he was able to get up under his own power. After his departure, the Trail Blazers' team physicians cleared Biyombo of any medical issues, but the Thunder still elected to rule the veteran center out for the game. Fortunately for Biyombo, he's feeling fine a day later and will be available as frontcourt depth Friday versus Miami.

The veteran center 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'll compete with the likes of Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams for backup minutes behind starting center Chet Holmgren.

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