JANUARY 1: Phoenix has officially signed Biyombo to a 10-day contract, the team announced on social media (Twitter link).
DECEMBER 31: The Suns are planning to sign veteran free agent center Bismack Biyombo for a 10-day contract via a hardship exception, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets. It’s possible Biyombo could stick with the club longer than just 10 days, Woj adds.
This will be the 11th NBA season for Biyombo, who’s still just 29 years of age. He spent last season with the Hornets, but was unable to find a team in free agency. In 66 games last season (20.4 MPG), Biyombo averaged 5.0 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 1.2 APG and 1.1 BPG.
Biyombo has played 702 career games (307 starts) with Charlotte, Toronto, and Orlando. He’s known as strong rebounder and shot-blocker, however he lacks shooting touch.
The Suns are essentially down to their fifth center at the moment in Jalen Smith, and at 215 pounds he’s pretty thin to be playing lots of minutes down low. JaVale McGee and Deandre Ayton are currently in the health and safety protocols, while Frank Kaminsky and Dario Saric are both sidelined by long-term leg injuries.
The Suns were over matched in the paint in their 123-108 loss to Boston Friday, giving up 13 offensive rebounds and losing the rebounding battle 51-38. Biyombo should provide immediate help in that department.
No way this dudes only 29 lol
because…?
Because it’s obvious, lol. He looks like hes 36, and his body does not perform like a 29 year olds. Also a well known fact that many African players have birthdays that cannot be verified. Serge is at least 3 to 4 years older than his listed age. Buddy Hield another example of an incorrect birth date given to the league.
Buddy Hield got listed as 26 instead of 25 one time, and is from the Bahamas, not Africa lol
He didn’t say that. You did . So laugh at yourself. I will laugh at you too slim
@Luke reading comprehension bro, learn it.
Try not being a deuce bag and try getting out of your mother’s basement.
What are your qualifications to say these things. I’m just curious!!
Maybe you should do some research and you can answer yourself
There have been numerous reports Biyombo is older than his stated age over the years.
Should have been on a team already
