San Antonio Spurs Sign Bismack Biyombo to 10-Day Contract

The San Antonio Spurs have officially agreed to a 10-day contract with veteran center Bismack Biyombo, marking an important move for the team as they seek to bolster their frontcourt depth. With the recent trade of Zach Collins and Charles Bassey's ongoing knee injury, the Spurs identified Biyombo as a valuable addition to support their promising young star, Victor Wembanyama. This signing comes as Biyombo has not yet appeared in any games this season, but he brings extensive experience to the roster, having played 13 seasons in the NBA.

Bismack Biyombo, who was drafted seventh overall in the 2011 NBA Draft, has played for several teams throughout his career, including the Charlotte Hornets, Toronto Raptors, and Orlando Magic, among others. Over his career, Biyombo has participated in 839 games, averaging 5.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game. Last season, he recorded an average of 5.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game while making 27 starts for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Here are some key points regarding Biyombo's career and the recent signing:

• Career Averages: 5.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 blocks per game.
• Played for multiple franchises: Charlotte, Toronto, Orlando, Phoenix, Memphis, and Oklahoma City.
• Experienced postseason performer, known for impactful playoff games, particularly in 2015 with Toronto.
• Will compete for minutes at center, backing up Wembanyama.
• Signing fills a roster spot after the Spurs waived Patrick Baldwin Jr.

If Biyombo's signing becomes official in time, he may be eligible to compete in a total of three games before the All-Star break, providing San Antonio with additional depth as they pursue a playoff spot this season.
